Year 12

Early in the year, the Baillie Seniors made it our mission to continue to build upon the foundations already laid, but also form our own legacy as we guided this House to a successful future. While we did encounter some unexpected turbulence along the way, I think it is safe to say we have reached our goal. Right from the get-go the other Houses made it known that the mighty Bears were the ones to beat. However, with a target on our back, we had trust that our motto ‘RIP INTO IT!’ was going to get us through. The beginning of the year was jam-packed with events, one of which was the assignment of the Baillie buddies. This was very successful for the year with buddy groups having events such as sharing morning tea and competing against each other on a Monday morning in House Assembly. I hope these boys realise that they have started a potential lifelong relationship. Heading into the early weeks of Term 1, the all-important Swimming Carnival! Dressed as ‘Dads’, I am proud to say that we found big success, narrowly defeating the hard fighting Rice House. The other Houses set out to win, with their chants and cries, but all they ended up with was tears in their eyes. Unfortunately, despite the boys coming out of the blocks flying, nothing was going to prepare us for the tsunami in the form of a global pandemic, COVID-19. Competitiveness, pride and persistence is what this House is built upon, so when the biggest challenge any of us had ever faced collectively dawned upon us, our only option was to ‘Rip into it!’. Luckily, a blessing in the late stages of the Term 3 rose, with a modified Athletics Carnival. The theme of pyjamas was a hit, as was a socially distanced war cry - yes that’s a thing now! Arguably the highlight of the day was Jack ‘the gazelle’ Kirkpatrick being crowned the fastest man at the Park'. As the day drew to a close, a few last efforts from the boys in the relay put us in good stead to compete for that first place, a position very familiar to the House. Unfortunately, we were pipped at the post but gracious in defeat, we moved onto the next event: the Cross Country. Down on troops, we fought hard again. Special mention to the high number of age champions and all the boys who really gave it their all.

Without going unnoticed, I give thanks to all the boys who took part in charity events and community service activities. You boys have something special to give to this college and this house. Lastly, to all the Baillie men who gave their all to their studies keep at it; hard work brings rewards in the end. To Mr Holmes, on behalf of the Senior boys, we want to thank you for your constant guidance and caring nature that you provided for us daily for the past two years. No matter what happened, you were an anchor point for all of us and have filled our high school years with fun, enjoyment, motivation and direction. We have nothing but positive words for you, so cheers, Holmsey. You have shaped all of us into fine young men. Special mention to all of our past Homeroom teachers for playing a key role in our development. Thank you dearly, especially Mr Moneypenny and Ms Foley for getting us started on our journey at the Park.

Lastly, thank you to Mrs Roberts and Mrs Timbs. The dedication from you both has been outstanding and something that is very valuable to the Seniors. Without your care and support, we would not be the young Baillie men we are today. Thank you very much from all of us.

To my Senior brothers: our time at the Park has come to a close. Look how far we have come. Feels like only yesterday we were in Year 7. We do not know what the future holds. However, one thing is certain, we will always have each other to get through times of need. So, on behalf of Luke and myself, I would like to thank you for being the best group of boys. We are all grateful to Ignatius Park College and the Baillie House. Both are a part of who we are: Baillie boys for life!
