CAREWREID Reid Report

As 2019 drew to an end, it was finally that time to hand over the red banner to the newly appointed Senior group of 2020. Twelve months later and what a year it has been! Coming into the year it seemed as though we had everything figured out – having our Captains and Prefects already elected and moving breezily through our first year under the new ATAR system. Everything was looking onwards and upwards moving into what is arguably the best year of our young lives, and regardless of few ‘minor hiccups’, I think it's fair to say that it lived up to its expectations. Other than a global pandemic that pretty much changed most people's plans for 2020, I believe that overall, we have adapted as best we could and made this year the best it could be given the unique circumstances. Consistently over the year, each Reid man contributed to the House in their own unique way and carried on the House theme of Doing the Little Things Right which inevitably fuelled the House’s eagerness to be competitive in all that we did. Our first show of Reid spirit was at the highly anticipated Swimming Carnival held in Term 1. Coming off a 3rd place finish in 2019, the boys were eager to get around it and push for another podium finish in 2020. With the theme of ‘Firefighters' selected by the Senior group to raise awareness and funds for the NSW Bushfires that were occurring at the time, it was guaranteed to not disappoint. In hunt for the newly introduced ‘Brother Jon Hansen Spirit Shield’, Mr Rigano made a few calls and pulled a few strings to make sure that on the morning of the Carnival, the Reid House had their very own fire-truck to put the other Houses spirit to shame (or so we thought). For years now, the House has been renowned for their spirit at such carnivals, particularly since the introduction of the ‘Reid Stampede’ in 2016. It is a huge credit to all members of the House for getting amongst it and getting the most out of what the sporting carnivals have to offer. After digging in all day to hold our position, the boys stuck together to secure a 4th place finish. Well done men! Following on from the Swimming Carnival, next up was the Athletics Carnival early in Term 3, and although the day was delayed and tweaked to suit COVID-19 restrictions, it certainly did not disappoint. An 'Op-Shop' theme was selected with a $10 limit being encouraged, and the boys were ready to get stuck in! On a sweltering hot day, the boys showed up and gave it their all. Moving into the group events after the main lunch break, things were looking positive for the men in red. Fresh off a Reid Stampede returning from the break and thanks to the belting out of a classic Waltzing Matilda, the boys quickly snapped out of their kicked back attitude and were ready to give one last effort in the final group of events. The 18 year old boys kick it off with a convincing win in the 4x100m relay, but unfortunately the boys couldn’t hold on and secured a 7th place finish. Overall, it was still a great day regardless of the result and praise must be given to all members of the House on how well everyone conducted themselves over the course of the day. It was another great example of Reid Spirit, with the boys getting stuck in right up until the last event. The Seniors and the House couldn’t have been more proud. Great stuff lads! Special mentions go to Cai Banfield who was 3rd Age Champion for Field. Finishing off the carnival agenda was the dreaded Cross Country. On another hot day, the boys made their way over to Cranbrook Park to endure on the gruelling path around the river. The Open and U17s boys kicked it off, starting on their 6km trek, followed by the younger age groups who endured the 3km and 4km distances. It was a good afternoon and the participation from the Reid boys was yet again

something to be acknowledged. A big shout-out to the sizeable portion of blokes who managed to collect a top 10 finish: Luke Saldana Lopez (Opens) 2nd place, Ethan Moody-Humphrey (Opens) 10th place, Ethan Hannay – 4th 17s, Braeden Kennedy – 5th 17s, Daniel Gregory – 10th 15s, Blair Williamson – 4th 14s, Lachlan McCarthy – 9th 14s and Nicholas Barr – 10th 13s. That concluded the yearly events at IPC for 2020 and what a year it was! No matter what problem faced us – big or small, we were able to persevere and get through it as a House. It was certainly not the most conventional year, but I can honestly say that 2020 was the best year of my life and one that will definitely not be forgotten. I’d firstly like to thank Mr Rigano, our Pastoral Leader, who has stuck with us in times of both good and bad through our whole high school journey. Without his commitment to not only the House, but each individual in it, as well as the time and effort he has put into making the House what it is today, it is hard to even imagine how things would look in Reid House. I think all the boys would agree with me when I say that he has done all that he can to shape us into the best young men we can be. He has provided us with the knowledge and life lessons we will all cherish in the real world as Iggy Old Boys. Next to the Iggy staff, who have all been there in a way throughout our journey and made school tolerable. Without them, and their commitment to the College, it would have made it very hard to enjoy our Senior year. In particular, thank you to Mr Hogan. Although we may not have been perfect at the best of times, he always stuck with us and pulled us into line when it was needed. Thank you for teaching us what the true meaning of being an Iggy boy is and for instilling in us life lessons that will certainly not be forgotten. To the Year 12 cohort, you boys are unreal. As mentioned earlier, it hasn’t always been smooth sailing and we’ve had our fair share of ups and downs, but I can honestly say that every single one of you will always hold a special place in my heart. Each one of us have contributed to the House in a different way, and at the end of the day, it has contributed to the success of the House. The way we have conducted ourselves over the past six years is a reflection of each individual coming together as one group. A massive thank you to each and every one of you for making 2020 the best year of my life, and I’m sure the future will old great things for you all. Finally, to the Reid men of the future: you hear it every year, but please do make the most of your time at the Park and my message this year isn’t any different. This place is something special, boys and take it from me, if you hold off and don’t make the most of each opportunity presented to you, you will regret it. I have no doubt that you can all continue on the legacy of the wolves and build something special for the future. It has been an absolute honour to lead you boys through the year of 2020, and I can't thank you all enough for having the faith in me to do the right thing by the House, which I hope I have lived up to. Be your best men. UP THE WOLVES!
