The event entailed a week-long of events, activities and competitions students could get involved with. The goal of the event was to raise school and house spirit, along with hosting fun events to keep students engaged as the halfway mark of the year approached. The house captains organised netball competitions, chess competitions and a Mario Kart tournament. We had a few disruptions throughout the week, but nonetheless, it was a fun and successful Spirit Week!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Spirit Week Monday<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Monday was stalls day, where students and committees were able to host stalls during lunchtime which were self-profitable or towards a charity. 13 student-led stalls were hosted in the Kilgour Quad, including the SRC BBQ, bake sales, Indian food, jewellery, waffles, cookies, brownies and drawings. Thank you to all students who put in initiative to organise their stall for the school to enjoy.
