Leaders REFLECT

News from Launceston Grammar asked our Junior and Senior Campus House Leaders to reflect on Courage, Curiosity, Creativity and Compassion.

The best thing about Gillett House is the development of relationships between students of all ages. By participating in House activities, it creates a familylike environment where everyone feels comfortable and can go to anyone for advice.

Meg Leyden and Vincent Wolfhagen, Gillett House

Fraser is a compassionate House in the Launceston Grammar community. Currently as a House we are supporting the charity Just Like Jack. Through supporting Just like Jack, we have been helping raise awareness about living life with a disability. As leaders, it is rewarding to see how our tight-knit Fraser community can come together to support a great cause.

Alistair Bourne and Tayla Down, Fraser House

The best thing about Hawkes House is the compassion everyone shows for each other and the genuine care that is always there. Our House is more than just a House, it is a home and a second family that we can always count on to have a laugh with and a shoulder to cry on. That is what makes the Hawkes House so special; the love, kindness, and lifelong friends and memories that we make together. As Hawkes’ Leaders we pride ourselves on the incredible level of compassion shown within the House.

Nikita Jamson and Harrison Lester, Hawkes House

The best thing about Roff House is the beautiful family atmosphere. Those in Roff House are always courageous in giving everything a go; creative and curious in and out of the classroom; and compassionate and kind to everyone they meet.

Yezera Brown and Tyson Wood, Roff House

Savigny is a friendly House within the Launceston Grammar community, known for our charity efforts. We use non-profit lending platform Kiva to lend money to people in developing countries, helping alleviate poverty one person at a time. As House Leaders, we are proud of the compassion we see in our House.

Samuel Dowling and Thomas Watson, Savigny House

We are proud to call Wilkinson House family, and as a team we strive to connect and support the House. Wilkinson aims to encourage every student, across all grades, to participate and have a go. Encouragement, courage, compassion and kindness are attributes that make Wilkinson an outstanding House.

Anjali Reeves and Fergus Eastaugh, Wilkinson House

In Maxey-Middleton House we are creative with our House boards. We design the board, which is a display board for each House which includes the House name, House colours and anything else you would like to add including events, and photographs. There’s also glitter – everything is better with glitter.

Morgan Dolle, Maxey-Middleton House

In Buesnell-Rooney House we like to show compassion to everyone. For example, at this year's cross-country carnival, when everyone ran past, we cheered each other on. At the spelling bee we had a few people from our team who did not want to go on stage and perform in front of Grades 3 to 6, however we had some great teachers and students who were compassionate to the students who did not want to go up and encouraged them to go, which they did. Our House is also themed around bravery and courage.

Adelle Adams, Buesnell-Rooney House

Courage is demonstrated by every member of our House in our sportsmanship, spirit and ‘never give up’ attitude. My House demonstrates bravery and courage at every opportunity; on the sporting field, in the playground or when we are learning. We try everything, we do not give up and always strive to do our absolute best. We are courageous, we are brave, and we rise to every challenge.

Harriet Humphreys, Lyttleton-Hewton House
