![]() ![]() Alongside these weekly sessions, House Mentors and students have delved into topics such as privilege and equality in the context of International Women’s Day considering how to protect themselves and their friends online in the context of Safer Internet Day and considering ways to bring more kindness and happiness to our campus in the context of International Day of Happiness (including making happy-face biscuits in some House Groups to share with others!). So far this term, students have been considering challenges, opportunities and personal strengths through our Wednesday personal development sessions. ![]() Our students journey with their year level peers for three years in these groups and we hope they become a strong support network for each other, along with their House Mentor. Our House Group times, led by House Mentors, are focused on ensuring each student feels supported and connected at Senior School. These community events rotate between House Assemblies, where staff and students celebrate all the things that are happening within the life of the House and acknowledge students who are making great contributions to our community and House Challenges, where House Groups compete against each other in fun and friendly activities such as egg and spoon races, tunnel ball, quizzes, and other events that get them moving, laughing and interacting with each other. Our Senior School students begin each morning together with either their House Mentor in House Group or as a whole-House community. And whilst these community events have been a fantastic way for students to find a sense of belonging and connection with their peers from across Year Levels at Senior School, this sense of community and connectedness is being developed each morning through our House system. ![]() And the House Cooking Carnival this week, where the Taylor Tigers pounced on this year’s trophy, stealing it away from the other Houses (you can read more about this event in the article below). Our Swimming Carnival last week, where the Flynn Falcons swooped in to grasp both the Synchro and Overall shields with their mighty talons. Our Athletics Carnival held at Landy Field in Week 3 of term, where the Burrows Bears came out of hibernation to show their Track and Field prowess. There have been many great House events occurring this term of which families would be aware. ![]()
