YEAR 7 ASSEMBLY

Things have certainly been heating up down in Junior School, and it hasn’t just been because of the weather.

Some might say that the events that took place during Tuesday’s Year 7 assembly resembled the fierce battle between the Western Bulldogs and the Sydney Swans during the 2016 Grand Final. One might even go as far to say that the rivalry shared between 2017 swimming sport champions Freeman, and runners up Frazer, would put Geelong and Hawthorn to shame, yet the display of bravery on show last Tuesday was nothing short of spectacular.

The Olympic style games were in full swing during our second Year 7 assembly of 2017. We had the champions Freeman, tipped to take out glory once again, yet sadly, oh how the mighty have fallen. It became clear that through a fierce battle of M ‘n’ M eating, rolling Oreo’s down one’s face and cup stacking that we were to have a new victor, a new champion and an unlikely vanquisher, who silenced the crowds and put Freeman back in their place. It was a brave and chivalrous Jackman who managed to pull off the unthinkable, knocking Mabo out of contention and gliding past Frazer and Freeman to seize victory in what can only be described as, simply marvellous. To our runners up, you tried your hardest and the support you provided to your brave and humble competitors was unbelievable. To our winners, Jackman, you have undoubtedly put your house on the map and shown your opponents that there is unquestionably a new house to be reckoned with.
