House Cup

 

Well done Blackwood another great year in the house competition and another victory. The celebrations were electric, there was such pure emotion from the students when the winner was announced. 

 

I am so proud of all the contributions to the house program over the year and grateful to all the students and staff for continuing to embrace house spirit through the lockdowns. 

 

This is my last year at Suzanne Cory so I would like to thank all the students and staff for their work and support over the last 5 years. I will miss you and I look forward to hearing how the house cup goes in 2022.

One Girl Fundraiser 

On Thursday the 18th of November, the 2021 Duke of Edinburgh class ran a ‘do it in a dress’ day at Suzanne Cory! For every $50 we raised, 1 teacher wore a dress to school. The teachers looked absolutely fantastic and it was a wonderful day for everyone! The event was to raise funds and awareness for One Girl, an organisation that raises funds and awareness for Girls’ education in Sierra Leone and Uganda. This also provided a voluntary service option for the Duke of Edinburgh students, as volunteering can be a challenging aspect of the award for many participants. The class spent months planning the event and I am super proud to let you know that we raised over $679.86! We have also received more online donations after the event so our total now well exceeds this! I am so proud of the Suzanne Cory community and especially of my DOE class! I know that it has been super hard for Duke of Edinburgh students to complete the award during lockdowns. That is why we found a way for the class to benefit more than just our school, but the world. As a Young Award Leader I was able to collaborate with my class and bring this amazing event to Suzanne Cory High School. I highly recommend undertaking the Duke of Edinburgh award! 

 

Thank you to the amazing 2021 Duke of Edinburgh class for all the hard work put in! Thank you to everyone who donated and spread the word! Most of all, thank you to the teachers (and students) who wore school dresses for girls’ education! We should all be so proud of what we have accomplished!

Valedictory, Class of 2021.

Our class of 2021 have had one of the toughest VCE's due to the global pandemic. Throughout it all, this cohort have shown resilience and demonstrated the school's values of Respect, Contribution and Aspiration. Congratulations to Charlie, for being voted by your peers to be the Class of 2021, Valedictorian. 

 

While we weren't able to celebrate their Valedictory with families, we hope that they were still able to have a wonderful evening in the transformed Agora. Thank you to the staff led by Mr Mulcahy who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this event possible.
