From Claire Malin

As the term has come to a close, I would like to express my appreciation to Columba House for making it through Term 1.

I hope the transition for the Year 7s has been a smooth and exciting time, as always don’t hesitate to reach out to Sarah and myself if you need some assistance.

I would like to congratulate all of you who have participated in the aquatics carnival especially those who took part in the novelty relay.

I encourage everyone to take part in future house events such as the ongoing inter-house volleyball competition and the upcoming athletics carnival, so we are able to get more house points to hopefully maintain our place.

I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing break and come back ready for Term 2.

Hi all! My name is Sarah van der Veer and I am one of the 2024 Columba House Captains. As we wrap up the end of term 1, I want to thank everyone for making this term such an enjoyable one for Claire and I.

Recently our school aquatics carnival was held, at this event it was really great to see just how strong the house spirit was, and the participation that was shown by all. I encourage you all to keep up the enthusiasm as we approach our Athletics Carnival, and as we enter round 2 of our interhouse volleyball.

I wish you and your families a restful break, and hope you have a Happy Easter!
