Hey everyone!
We have enjoyed a jammed packed term, with some highlights including the cross country event, the Athletics Carnival and of course, House Music.
Cross country
We had some great success in cross country this term. We had two age champions, Heidi Martin (13 years girls) and Gemma Odes (15 years girls), and had an astonishing 11 other Szenesians come in the top three for their age group:
Jacob Davis, Dean Skalrud, Lexi Butt, Perri Banki, Zach Brown, Sanne Nathan, Eli Jocum, Niek Nathan, Raphael Harpaz, Jake Newfield and Mariah Lewy.
Due to our outstanding results and amazing participation, Szenes House came in second for the cross country event, so a huge well done and thank you to everyone who participated!!
Athletics Carnival
In other sports news, we also had the Athletics Carnival this term. It was so great to see everyone dressed up in yellow and purple, the House spirit was really showing and we were so proud of everyone!
We had three age champions from Szenes: Lexi Butt (13 years girls), Ollie Novy (16 years boys) and Mariah Lewy (17 years girls). Overall, Szenes came third, only ten points shy of second place. That is the equivalent of a second place in one event, or five more people participating in one more event each!
House Music
And finally, how could we forget House music? It was our highlight of the year, filled with so much energy and RUACH (spirit). It was so amazing to see everything coming together in the end, and to see everyone dance their hearts out on the night.
Firstly, we were so appreciative to everyone involved in Small House, who spent so many of their own recesses, lunchtimes and early mornings to learn and perfect our song. We were so proud of everyone’s involvement and effort leading up to the big day, and we were so proud of our second place in the Event!
X-factor was an absolute highlight for all Szenesians! One of our favourite moments was when the whole House joined in at the end of the song (I will Survive/Survivor) chanting “what?”. We can not thank Mariah Lewy (Year 12), Ella Bortz (Year 9) and Chloe Biller (Year 10) enough for leading us to a very deserving first place!
It was incredible to see all of Szenes get involved in our Big House dance. The yellow and purple wave across the stage was captivating to look at, and it was amazing to see just how happy everyone looked on stage. While we may not have achieved first place, Szenes was the winner in our eyes, and we were so grateful to each and every one of you.
Overall Szenes came second, and we could not be more proud of all the effort put into the night!
Both of us have absolutely loved being Szenes House Madrichim this year. It has been such a special year filled with so much enthusiasm and House spirit, and we have loved working alongside our Tutor Group, Ms Greenhill, Ms Starkey and all Szenesians.
Looking forward to our last few weeks of fun!
