Happy Valley School
Responsibility
Respect
Integrity |
|
Each
year the students elect House Captains who are
responsible for a variety of tasks in both the weeks
leading up to Sports Day and on the day itself. These
tasks include organizing and training relay teams,
maintaining team morale and discipline, liaison with
staff and general house organization.
In the past
Sports Day has been held
in Term 1 and House Captains have been elected early in the school
year. This year, Happy Valley School is conducting Sports Day in
Term 3, so the election of House Captains will take place later in
the year.
School Houses:
Chandler, Mason, Nicole and Shepherd.
