Cowan House

What a special start to Term 4 it has been for Cowan House, as we celebrated a significant milestone, the graduation of our inaugural Year 12 cohort!

From Mini-Me Day and Wannabe Day to the Valedictory celebrations, it was a wonderful week filled with excitement, laughter, a little nostalgia and plenty of reflection. To our Year 12s, thank you for the commitment, energy and spirit you have brought to Cowan House. You took a chance on something new and helped shape the foundations of our House. As you approach your final examinations and prepare for the next chapter of your lives, I wish you every success. You will always hold a special place in Cowan House's story.

And as one chapter ends, another begins!

I am excited to introduce our 2027 Cowan House Leaders! Congratulations to our incoming House Captain, Chloe Zhang, and House Prefects, Ella Moffat and Marcus Owen. I look forward to seeing the energy, ideas and leadership you bring as you continue to build upon our foundations and create your own legacy as the 2027 leaders of Cowan House.

It is shaping up to be a busy but exciting final term. As we approach our last House Week and the final opportunities to earn House points for 2026, one word continues to come to mind, proud. But we are not finished yet! Sync Swim practice starts in Week 4 and IHPAF Dance Auditions will run later this term. Let's finish our inaugural year the way we started it, showing up, getting involved and proudly representing the blue!

Go Cowan!

Head of Cowan

Gandhi House

The first two weeks of Term Four have been a special time for Gandhi House as we celebrate the final days of schooling for our wonderful Year 12 students. Thank you to our graduating students for everything they have contributed during their time in Gandhi House. Our culture of competition, fun and inclusiveness would not be the same without your enthusiasm, leadership and House spirit. We wish you all the very best for the exciting opportunities that lie ahead!

I would also like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our incredible House Captain, Jade Fletcher, and House Prefect, Harvey Miller, for their outstanding leadership and guidance throughout the year. Your commitment to Gandhi House and the positive example you have set for younger students have been greatly appreciated and valued – Thank You.

As we farewell our Year 12s, we are excited to welcome our new Gandhi House leadership team for 2027. Congratulations to our incoming House Captain, Keira Bradley, and House Prefects, Emma Waugh and Scarlett Momberg. I am sure that you will quickly become outstanding leaders of Gandhi House. 

Preparations for next year are already underway, with Sync Swim rehearsals having commenced and auditions for the Interhouse Dance beginning next week. It is certainly a busy few weeks ahead! A special thank you to our Year 11 students, who have already begun stepping into their House leadership roles with enthusiasm and initiative.

I look forward to finishing the year on a high and seeing Gandhi House continue to shine!

Lincoln House

It is once again that time of year where we farewell the graduating Year 12 students of Lincoln House. I am so grateful to be able to spend the time with our Lincoln student graduates, being able to laugh and reminisce over the time they have spent in the House.  Whether it be a sporting event, in the Arts, House Week or even just a morning PCG session, they have always been ready to jump in and to give things a go.

I would like to thank all of our graduates for the love and support you have given the House throughout your time at St George’s. To Nancy and Holly our House Prefect and House Captain, you have both been fantastic. The House has watched you both grow to become excellent leaders, and you have left an undeniable impact on myself, your peers and the House, inspiring our future Lincoln leaders. Thank You. 

Of course, it is also an exciting time for the House as we welcome our new Lincoln Leaders for 2027. Meg, Lincoln House Captain, has been an invaluable member of the House from day one in Year 7 and is already hard at

 work starting Sync Swim and Interhouse Dance for next year. Joining her this year are Rafe and Jaya, Lincoln Prefects, who will no doubt continue to support the House in events and activities. I would also like to congratulate Indi as Performance Captain, Lorelei as Dance Prefect, Ellie as Drama Prefect, Lua as Music Prefect and Ruby as Library Prefect.

Next week will be the final House Week for the year, and with that the final chance to earn many House points for Lincoln House. Keep an eye out for the activities we have on offer during lunch at both the Murray and William St campuses. Alongside the lunch events we will once again be running the Great St George’s Bake-Off and I can not wait to see what everyone will bring to the table this year. It starts with a call to bake cookies!

Mandela House

Term 4 is well underway, and there has been plenty happening in Mandela House! I hope all our families enjoyed a restful break and are ready for a busy final term.

We recently farewelled our Mandela Year 12s and the graduating Class of 2026. Thank you for everything you have contributed to Mandela over the years. We will miss having you around and wish you all the best for the future.

A big congratulations to Scarlett Wallace on being appointed Mandela House Captain for 2027! I know she will do a great job leading the House. Congratulations also to our House Prefects, Isabella Hall and Sam Fletcher, and to

 Marcus Calafiore on being elected School Captain. I’m excited to work with all four students next year and see what they bring to their roles!

Well done to M4 and Ms Webb for taking out the Term 3 Mandela Quiz by just one point! Congratulations also to Benji Yan and Elektra Louw, who were voted our Term 3 Mandela GOATs by their peers. Well-deserved recognition for both students!

Our final House Week will feature Table Tennis, the Paper Aeroplane Competition, GeoGuessr and the Annual House Bake Off. There are plenty of ways to get involved, and we need everyone getting behind Mandela. Grab a friend, head along at lunchtime and have a go. Events will occur across both campuses. You don’t need to be the best to make a difference. Every point helps! Let’s finish the year with a bang and see how many points we can put on the board.
