HOUSE BINS

Our College Captains are excited to launch a new environmental House competition next week. At the start of Term 2, four white translucent wheelie bins were purchased, with each House Captain leading the way in designing and decorating their House bin for easy identification. After weeks of creativity and effort, the bins are now complete, and the competition is ready to begin.

The challenge will see the House that fills its bin the most times each week crowned the winner. Each day, the College Captains and Prefects will check the bins and award points to the House with the fullest bin, with rewards along the way to keep the competition alive.

This initiative not only promotes sustainability but also strengthens House spirit, providing students with a fun and meaningful way to work together for a cleaner environment. A special thank you to the Head of Year 12, Mr McKye Turner, and the Heads of House, for their support in overseeing this initiative. Congratulations to all students who contributed to the bin designs, and to our College seniors for leading this important effort to care for and nurture our beautiful College grounds.

END OF TERM

As we move into the pointy end of the term, I encourage all students to finish strong. This is the time to knuckle down on assessments, stay focused in class, and uphold the high standards we expect, particularly around uniform, behaviour, and respectful relationships. With the holidays just around the corner, it can be tempting to ease off, but staying committed now will ensure you finish well and head into the break with a real sense of achievement. Remember to take care of yourselves and each other, celebrate your efforts, be proud of everything you have already accomplished, and be excited about all that is still ahead.
