Magnetic Marlin A big congratulations is in order for the Magnetic Marlins! As a brand new house it was an incredibly impressive result to come third overall after both Junior and Senior Swimming Carnivals. As Marlins we have a lot of natural ‘swimmers’ who gave us some much needed points to stay in the competition. However, the House Captains were very impressed with many dedicated Marlins who participated in several (sometimes ALL) events throughout the day in order to win points for our house. A special ‘shout out’ goes to the Age Champions from Magnetic House: Jack Althaus (Year 9), Justen Lyons (Year 10) and Tiana Thorne (Year 11). Marlins – you’ve made us very proud of your efforts at our first carnival event for the year! At the moment Magnetic House is donating ZIP LOCK BACKS as a part of our whole school ANZAC Day biscuit drive. The ZIP LOCK BAGS should be snack or sandwich bags that we will be using to package the biscuits in. Students can drop their donations into the FYC staffroom. WE REP THE MARLINS! SWIMMING CARNIVAL REPORTS The Croc Report Cook House - Swimming Carnival The ‘Croc Pit’ was abuzz with very excited Cook students last Thursday and Friday. At 9:00am, the Cook area was decorated, the students in house colours and a hush hung over the pool. At 9:01am, the Cook House Captains led us in our first performance of the Cook War Cry. If the other houses seemed a little intimidated, it was perhaps understandable. The swimming carnival was a wonderful community building event for Cook. Cook House was very ably led by our House and School Captains Michael, Jessie, Emma, Daniel, Jono, Janaya, Regan, Nina, Matao and Tristan. If the spirit and enthusiasm shown on Thursday and Friday is any guide, Cook is in for a great year. Louisa Report Once again, we had many students from Louisa who made us ‘proud’. Congratulations to all who attended, it was a fantastic day with incredible house spirit. In particular, we would like to congratulate Myar Jones who was the Year 8 Girls Age Champion and competed in the Queen of the Pool event (and was only marginally defeated). A special mention also, to our strongest age group by far, the Year 10 boys, who were keen to compete in as many events as possible. It was incredible to watch this group of enthusiastic students work together to receive maximum points for our house. Our House Leaders, as always, did a magnificent job in encouraging and maintaining high spirits. Even though we did not win the carnival, we should be very proud of our efforts. Well done Louisa! Cook’s next focus is a community project aimed at raising awareness for ANZAC Day as well as supporting Clean Up Australia Day. We are seeking donations of plain flour for ANZAC biscuits as well as the donation of items that may serve as prizes for students who have demonstrated the Cook House and Kirwan Spirit. Go Cook!
