What a start to the year! We welcomed our Red House Year 7s on Friday 29th January and welcomed back our VCE students. The Year 7s started the day off in our Red House group, getting to know each other and the Red House Coordinators. The Year 7s showed excellent team skills later in the day in their first house competition which included a rock paper scissors tournament, games of bodyguard and tunnel ball. The Red House spirit was high in tunnel ball with Red House taking the win for the afternoon.

Monday the 1st February, saw all our students return and we started the day with a Red House assembly, it was great to see them again. Our senior and middle school captains spoke about one of our school values Compassion and being kind to each other as we start a new year of school, especially after a tough year in 2020.

The message we want students to take away is to think about how you can display kindness each and everyday to one another in the school community. An example given was seeing someone who has dropped their books and helping them, not just walking past. You can make someone’s day a little better even with a smile. So be kind Red House and look after each other.

Looking forward to watching the Red House Devils team come together at the Swimming Carnival in March. Let’s create a sea of RED! Dress up in anything red and get creative. Go DEVILS!
