From the Year 6 House Captains

This year has been a very different one. It has been filled with excitement and challenges. We have gained so much from this experience.

We had a normal Term 1 and we were able to host the Primary Swimming Carnival. Term 2 came as an adjustment. We had Zoom meetings with Mr. Taylor and Ms Segal where we helped to organise a virtual Flashmob. In Term 3 we had the modified Athletics Carnival – we all went down to Queens Park and the House Captains helped run various activities. In Term 4 we continued to collect House points. Tension was building as the winning House announcement day grew closer. In the end the winning House was Cowen! (For the first time in 10 years!) 

“Being House Captain was a big role that we took on and it really developed our true leadership skills. Taking on this role we each learnt new leadership lessons and how to be a good role model and place footsteps on the right path.” Gemma – Monash House Captain

“My favourite part of being a House Captain was winning the end of year award, this was one of the best feelings ever….especially seeing it was the first time Cowen won in 10 years!” Jemma – Cowen House Captain

“My favourite part about being a Cowen House Captain was when they announced that Cowen won at Presentation Day.” Shay – Cowen House Captain

“I will miss organising all of the carnivals and running them. We also have the best mentor Mr Taylor, so if you’re a House Captain in 2021 you’re very lucky to have such a great role model.” Madi – Cowen House Captain

“My favourite part of being a House Captain was collecting and announcing House points, leading the carnivals and spending time with my friends.” Toni – Monash House Captain
