2017 - The Year of the House

WOW! Hasn’t 2017 has been a fun-filled and exciting year of House activities and events?! Our students achieved record levels of participation in all sporting events this year. Students from all year levels participated in a wide range of school activities lead by our group of proud house captains. As new additions to our major Swimming and Athletics carnivals, students were delighted with our very popular Bocce and Tug-Of-War competitions that ran at these events consecutively.

The academic, creative and artistic spirit of our wonderful community also shone bright, with huge levels of participation in three very successful language and poetry competitions, creating a school record for student involvement.  To add to this, many of our students performed in MAC and were active volunteers for Youth Day, RU OK? Day, Arts expo and the Australian Fashion Awards, to name just a few.

Also outstanding this year, was the record-breaking number of points awarded to students by teachers for positive behaviours and academic achievement, as well as the number of students who nominated to become House captains for 2018.

Below is the final house points tally this year. We’re sure that the whole school community will join us in congratulating the winning house for 2017 - Freeman House!!!

Finally, we would like to thank this year’s house captains, as well as all the students, parents and staff in supporting our house system and in turn, for providing an inclusive and very supportive school community. We also wish to congratulate the following students, who have been elected as our house captains for 2018:

Next year, we will see the return of all our favourite house events and a few surprises and we look forward to working with our newly appointed House captains for 2018. We would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday and a fantastic year ahead.
