CAREWNOLAN Nolan Report

As 2020 comes to a close, Nolan members can reflect upon this disruptive year with pride. We kicked off the year with our annual Swimming Carnival where, despite the exceptional efforts of various members within the house such as Brandon Pearce (11), Kym Nuth (10) and Matthew Lynch (9), Nolan sadly fell short of a podium finish. Despite the result, the carnival was a success accrediting to the avid participation and House spirit displayed throughout the course of the carnival. It was great to see so many boys stepping out of their comfort zones across all age groups and upholding the Nolan tradition and truly Unleashing the Fury. A special mention must also go out to the vast number of Year 11 boys who stepped up to the plate on the day, assuming responsibility - displaying positive fundamental attributes in an effort to uphold the 2020 Seniors legacy and truly embodying the values of the Nolan house.

The Athletics Carnival this year was a major success. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, the two-day event was reduced to just one. The theme for the day was HAZMAT/quarantine and the boys got into it with so many outstanding costumes on display. There was strong sense of spirit present throughout the day. A couple of boys stood out with individual successes. In the field events, Tekelu Mene placed 2nd in 15 years, Orlando Satori also placed 2nd in 16 years and Elijah Joe showed his dominance placing 1st in 16 years. Within the track events, the House again was seen to have podium finishes with Ateli-Patrick Iosefo placing 2nd in 14 years, Ethan Woods placing 2nd in 18 years and lastly Tekelu Mene in 15 years and Tremaine Body in 16 years both placing 1st for their age group. The House as whole placed 6th but showed no weakness winning spirit points. Overall, it was an unforgettable day. Following the Athletics Carnival was the legendary Cross Country event where the boys gave it their all, despite the blistering winds and scorching heat. Although the conditions on the day were suboptimal, the Nolan boys were exemplary in participation and I am proud of the levels of enthusiasm they displayed. Congratulations to Harrison Bow who placed 3rd in 12 years and Ethan Woods who place 1st in 18 years. Earlier in the year, the annual Theatre Sports Competition was held, and each House nominated a junior and senior team. Despite their monumental efforts, the senior team was knocked out in the first round. This left the junior team to carry the weight of the House and they found themselves in the grand finale having to produce a “space jump” scene on the spot. They conducted themselves with pure talent, showing outstanding teamwork and successfully taking the win. Soon after, the Seniors were tasked with producing a spirit video to compete against the other Houses. In doing so, we coordinated the entire House around the school with each grade enacting different activities showcasing House spirit. James Stephan in Year 12 was the lead actor and Lachlan Moore, the cameraman and editor who successfully filmed the video in one take. A special mention to Jayden David (12) whose solo dance in the intro had everyone psyched up. Nolan successfully took out first place in the competition, proving that Nolan spirit was stronger than ever. Over the past six years our Homeroom has been lucky enough to experience incredible, well-rounded Homeroom teachers. Starting Year 7 with the ultimate combo, Mr Gaston and Mr Guerra successfully integrated us within the College and the culture which surrounds it. Over our first three years, whether it was getting our ankles broken on the Touch field, or getting taught to throw spears and makes fire with nothing but sticks, these two men made such a strong impact on us - one that we will not forget. The next year we had Ms Hans and Mr Iemma. Though we only had them for a brief period, their presence was always positive. Finally, we were gifted with Mrs Tillack who carried us across the line through Year 11 and

12. Mrs Tillack continuously offered endless support and went well above the role of a Homeroom teacher. A perfect example of this was where, every month, without fail Miss would bring in cake to celebrate everyone’s birthdays. Her kind-hearted spirit will never be forgotten as she has made an enormous impact within our Homeroom. To all our Homeroom teachers throughout the years, thank you, for you have shaped us into the men we are today. Mr Mitchell, your constant support of all members within the Nolan House is always appreciated. Your inclusive community emphasis within Nolan and the wider schooling community is a key attribute of your character that the student body admires. Your dedication to the wellbeing of students highlights your caring and compassionate nature and is a standard which students will strive to replicate throughout their continued development. Your methods of positive reinforcement through countless pizza parties, Nolan spirit acknowledgment in House Assemblies, the end of year activities and Cokes on a Friday afternoon exemplify your giving nature and selfless character. Your exceptional leadership skills were not only portrayed during the school terms, but also highlighted during the lock-down period. A key aspect of a good leader is adaptability, which is exactly the feature you depicted throughout this time by your introduction of the Nolan Lego competitions and online House Assemblies to maintain the positive relationships with students in the House during this time of uneasiness. Although we Seniors have only had the opportunity to learn from your character teachings for the past three years, your instilment of positive thoughts and actions as a key role-model within our lives is something very dear to the Senior cohort that will never be forgotten. I’d just like to say on behalf of the Nolan Seniors of 2020, thank you for your continued support and commitment towards the House. You are an avid representation of Nolan spirit and you inspire others to follow in your footsteps daily. No amount of words can express how thankful we are. To the Nolan men graduating, it has been an amazing journey with you all at the Park and I cannot believe it has come to an end. We have been together for the past six years and I have loved every second. We have made so many memories together and I thank you all for that. The future is ours to conquer and I hope we all make the most of it. Good luck to your years to come and cherish the Nolan insignia with pride. The Nolan Seniors of 2020 would like to end this report with a some key words of advice to all the up and coming Nolan men: embrace every opportunity that the College provides, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and, finally, take the Seniors’ advice seriously. They have walked and lived the road you're taking now.
