Some of our House Prefects have celebrated the history of their Houses with a Celebration Day via Google Meet.
On Friday 10 September Daniel Ryan hosted the Terry Dunn House event, while Emily Wicks had her father, teacher Richard Wicks, and three siblings joined the Carr House celebration she hosted on Wednesday 6 October. Today (Friday 8 October) at lunchtime, it was the turn of O’Neill House Prefect Laura Fitzgerald.
While Maguire House was able to host its Celebration Day on campus early in the year with a barbecue lunch put on by the Parents and Friends’ Association volunteers, the other Prefects have had their events continually postponed due to COVID-19 lockdowns. Our House Prefects have, however, led their Houses through the College’s swimming and athletics carnivals in Term 1 and we will soon learn which House will win this year’s House Cup competition.
Well done to everyone who has earned points for their House this year and helped to continue lifting team spirits.
Here are some reflections from our House Prefects:
Terry Dunn House
On Friday 10 September I undertook Terry Dunn's House Celebration Day over a Google Meet. It was definitely different to how I imagined it being but it was still great nonetheless. I was definitely nervous but it made it easier to know that the few that joined had enjoyed themselves and had a good time with the Kahoot. Thanks to those of you that attended meet and took the time to learn more about this great House that is Terry Dunn. GO TERRY DUNN!

Carr House
Today (Wednesday 6 October) I had the pleasure of celebrating the beloved Carr House and all its glory. I was so thrilled as the Carr House Prefect to give something back to the wonderful community members who are a part of the House as their hard work and participation are what has brought victories, friendships and enjoyment. Although it is not the normal celebration setting, it ended with a fun Kahoot all about Carr House and the Olympics to enjoy what has been a somewhat normal but unpredictable year.
