CAREW CAREW Carew Report

Wow! This year was so different, where do I even begin? The Carew House celebrated another successful year, with countless accolades in all areas. We had the privilege to lead the Carew House as House and Vice-Captains. As the Senior’s final year, it was bound to be an eventful and exciting one. The Carew House motto is Effort Every Time, and I can easily say the boys executed this where they needed to this year. Like past years, the first annual event for the College was the Swimming Carnival. The Carew House came in heavy numbers supporting the theme of 'Islander and Hawaiian', where we gathered under the mango tree, paid our respects and had a minute’s silence in memory of the passing of Mr Mewburn. The House then completed a war cry which raised adrenaline levels. Moving in a large eager group towards the Pool, the boys were ready to take on any challenge thrown at them. After a slow start in the Pool, the House were sitting low on the leader-board at the end of morning tea, but this did not stop the Carew House’s spirit. Special mention to Lachlan Ryan for launching kids out of the Pool after their races. Another special mention of the Captains for handing out lollies to the juniors after their race. Shout out to Jacob Fowler for taking on the opens Butterfly race and winning!! True champion, brother! As the day progressed, our place on the leader-board was significantly improving. It was not the boys’ efforts in the water that amazed me though, it was the cheering and war cries from the edge of the pool that showed true Carew spirit. After giving our all, the Carew House jumped ahead of the Putney House and finished on a steady 4th place. Special mentions to these top five age group swimmers: Jai Duxbury, Noah Law, Maddyx Mancuso, Hayden Vignale, and Aiden Freeman. Congratulations to Jacob Fowler on making the College Swim Team. Super stoked with your efforts, lads! We had much yet to prove with the running events still to come throughout the year. However, the unexpected had reached Townsville. Towards the end of Term 1 COVID-19 had reached us. While some raised a glass, the Seniors had their heads down. Less time with the blokes they love was a detriment to them. Being powerless of what was yet to come sent blues throughout the Carew House Seniors. The boys just had to sit and wait… With everyone being in isolation, the Park had launched their online work on Stile. Props to the teachers who put in the hard yards in order to help the boys get on top of their work while being stuck in their rooms. Technology being technology, of course the website crashed about two to three times a week. The boys cheered all day and night. With the launch of Stile, this really tested everyone to get on board with their online work or to slack off.

The whole COVID-19 scenario really changed the Senior’s final year. They had to wait until Week 4 to get back into school grounds. The Park was quiet with just Seniors being in the College, that is until Week 6 when the little gremlins came back! COVID changed everything at the Park. Lunch tables were moved 1.5m apart, no-one was happy with that situation, but unfortunately, that was the COVID-safe plan the College had to stick to. However, we all had more pressing questions with this new normal. Would there be an Eddie Rice Day? Will there be an Athletics Carnival this year? The questions were not able to be answered until late in Term 2, where the House Captains and Mr Brown worked out the best possible outcome given the restrictions. Unfortunately, this meant that instead of two days of the Athletics Carnival like we usually had, we had to combine the two days into one day. Again, we headed towards the mango tree for the 2020 Seniors long awaited final Athletics Carnival. After painting ourselves purple and yellow to support the Cure Starts Now, the boys had gained a new mascot for the day and will be staying for a while, 'Pooh the Cure Starts Now Bear', with Kurtis Brink was wearing. Walking as one group, the Carew House approached the Oval with the other six Houses. Carew made a great entrance with a big boom box carried by Kurtis Brink...that Mr Doolan was quick to turn off. The tents were spread out all over the Oval creating an isolated and COVID safe environment for all Houses. The day was very busy and the Captains had to step up and find which age group was at which event and race and what Oval and what area. Special mentions to Ms Timbs and Ms Rossi for looking after the boys at the tents, we really appreciate it! Nonetheless, the boys did well to get everyone to their event on time every time and it was not easy at all. Sadly, the rule was to not have war cries due to needing social distancing, but this didn’t stop the Carew House spirit as we silently chanted our war cries for the very last time. It brought a smile to the Captain’s faces when they saw kids who usually don’t have a crack having a go and those who volunteered for races that they have never competed in. Awesome work blokes, really proud of all of you. Effort Every Time truly came into play after lunchtime where Carew caught up to Putney from 200 points behind. One last push from the relay teams was made to push Carew to fourth of the leader-board. The Cudas got up 100 points above Putney and only a short 85 points behind third place - take that Putney! Congratulations to the following boys who killed the field events: Tyler Butler 2nd for 13 years, Zai Robinson-Calliste 3rd for 16 years, and Angus Gibb 3rd for opens. Special mentions to these lads who blitzed kids on the track: Nathaniel Kimber 1st for 14 years, Lachlan Lerch 3rd for 16 years, and Aiden Freeman 2nd for 17 years. Well done blokes absolutely killed it! In Academics, the Carew house excelled above and beyond with several boys achieving Diligence Awards at the conclusion of Term 1. In addition to these awards, our Carew ‘Cudas also received Bronze, Silver and Gold awards- a commendable effort from everyone involved. I would like to personally congratulate each recipient for their efforts in the classroom. Furthermore, there were also many students from the Year 11 and 12 VET program who achieved work placement awards for excellent feedback from their employers.

Moving around the grounds of Ignatius Park, the House spirit was further continued through various events with each grade competing in a lunchtime competition of Basketball, Cricket or Softball. With each game adding points to the Paddy Carew Shield tally, the boys fought hard and had fun doing so. Other activities that the Carew Cudas partook in included TCLC visits, Drop-in Centre visits, House morning teas, Homeroom visits between grades, House barbecue afternoons, Homeless Sleepout and the Year 7 and 12 Friday Morning Milos for buddy bonding time. In mid Semester 1, some of our Carew boys and staff participated in the World’s Greatest Shave where they shaved their heads down to the skin to raise money and awareness to beat blood cancer. Because of the virus, the leaders were limited to doing specific activities with group involvement and we apologise for the unexpected and wish we could have done all of our ideas because there were some top ones in there. Cross Country finally made its appearance at the College and let me tell you that all the boys were delighted when they heard this news. The day started off with a House Assembly where Keenan and Kurtis broke the news that Carew has no match in this event, so have a crack and have fun. A sharp play was made by the Captains - the incentive to give pizza lunches to anyone who got top 10. I don’t know how, but it managed to work! Carew House came a whopping second place. That is the best the House has ever done in history! The Captains couldn’t get words out of their mouth when they found out they were no longer bottom 3 in Cross Country. Boys, we are proud of every single one of your efforts. Well done to these boys who got top 10. I hope you all enjoyed your free pizza, cheers Brucey! With the Seniors having 18 different Homeroom teachers, they were in awe that Mr Moxon had the guts to pull up and stick with us for this year, especially after all those detentions he had given us in previous years. Cheers sir, it means a lot to the boys, we also thank you for helping us lead the House. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without you. Over the past six years, I have been on the absolute ride of my life and it's finally coming to an end. This isn’t the fairy tale ending that we were after, but it is the end and I am so thankful for all the teachers who have helped me get to where I am now. Especially a big thank you to Mr Moxon and Mr Bruce. Mr Moxon stepped up to the challenge of being our Homeroom teacher and has played a key role for myself and Kurtis this year, helping us when we needed it. Mr Bruce has always helped and supported us this year in the decisions and ideas we have come forward with.

My role as the House Captain would mean nothing without all the boys. I am so proud of what we have accomplished, and I have absolute confidence in the young men I see in front of me on a Monday morning, that they will continue to make this House the treasure that it is.

Personally, I would like to thank all the Carew teachers, teacher aides and other Carew boys, past and present, in the House over the last six years. This journey through Ignatius Park has been a blessing, and on behalf of all the Carew Seniors of 2020, I can easily say we have been humbled to serve as the Leaders of the Carew House. The memories made and friendships with these young men will not be forgotten. Thank you for making me your Vice Captain of 2020 and entrusting me to help lead the House. Once graduating from the Park and becoming an Old Boy, I can rest easy knowing that the Carew House has been placed in good hands with next year’s Seniors. I will miss the family we have created. Thank you for the junior burgers that always put a smile on my face. Enjoy your time at the Park boys, as it will go by in a flash.

All the best for the future gentlemen, and don’t forget; Respect, Compassion, Determination, Integrity and most importantly, Effort Every Time. Blokes keep that Carew spirit running forever, lead by example — Up the Mighty’ Cudas, you will be missed.
