Responsibility Respect Integrity

The 2000 School Sports Day was held in Term 1 and was well attended by a large group of parents, friends and ex-students.

Students enjoyed the friendly rivalry between the four School Houses, Chandler, Mason, Nicolle and Shepherd. This rivalry has existed ever since the house system was first introduced in 1978.

Each year the House Captains are elected by the children. During Term 1, Year 7 students are nominated for the position. After a period of election campaigning, each House meets to hear election speeches from each candidate. A vote is then taken for two boys and two girls from each House. The whole process is very much controlled by the students themselves.

Although the main emphasis is on enjoyment, improving personal performances, skill development, fitness and participation by all, the Primary section of the school (Year 3-7) competes in a House competition. All children contribute points to their House for each event in which they participate.

The Junior Primary students (R-Yr2) participate in a programme based on skill development, enjoyment and participation by all. Nevertheless, the students are very keen to succeed and try very hard to achieve their best. The photograph at right shows one Junior Primary student testing his skill in the goal throwing event.
