House Captains Report so far……

It has been a very busy and exciting start to Term 1 for our students, and our House Captains have taken the time to write about their start to the term.

Gurborra House Captains – Indi and Madiba

We have had a fun time working with all the Foundation students over the past few Friday afternoons introducing new games to them. This really helped us to prepare and run our School Senior and Junior House Carnival held recently. Everyone in our school wore their House colours and it looked fantastic. We can’t wait to make this year even more fun and memorable for everyone.

Yanggai House Captains – Sophie and Parker

For the past few weeks, we have been training the new preps by running simple sports. These were aimed to build their resilience and skill building. As a result, the House Sports Carnival ran very smoothly. We are both very excited for the upcoming events. We are so ready to cheer on Yanggai.

Dulai Wurrung House Captains – Eliza and Iarik

The start of the year has been very busy starting with teaching simple games to the preps. This experience helped us for the House Carnival and make it the most fun and memorable experience for all students and House Captains. We hope to make the swimming carnival as fun and memorable and see some great results.

Marram House Captains – Chloe and Mason

This year we have recently had our House Carnival. It was amazing to see such a sea of House colours all together. All the participants had a great time in a fun and friendly environment. Some of the upcoming events are the MPS swimming carnival and cross country.
