Assistant Head of Gioia House
Action Girls
It has been wonderful to see the Gioia House students work towards being Action Girls through their words and actions each day. Our Action Girls are honest, caring, kind and respectful students who act with justice in including and supporting others. We continue to encourage our Gioia House students to strive to be their best selves in all aspects of their lives at school, home and during their extra-curricular activities. We call for the students to continue to demonstrate compassion for others and identify ways we can continue to serve others, especially those who are less fortunate than ourselves.
Congratulations to the following Action Girls who received their awards and badges at our College Assembly:
Year 5
Esther Chiew
Alyssa D’Agostino
Mila Ferko
Bianca McLeod

Gioia House Acts of Kindness
As we approach the season of Advent we take this opportunity to celebrate the moments of kindness we experience each day. The Gioia House students have been invited to share the moments of kindness they witness or receive and write them on a small green triangle note. The triangles collected will create Christmas Trees. It has been wonderful to see how many acts of kindness have already been shared and our Random Acts of Kindness display is growing rapidly. The Gioia House students have been reading the display notes and it has been wonderful to celebrate together the wonderful Gioia House community.
