FROM OUR MULHALL HOUSE CAPTAIN
Although the last 12 months have had their challenges, the Mulhall community has continued to maintain strong relationships and connections, fostered by the “unity that burns within.” While COVID significantly impacted Year 12 and our studies, Mulhall has continuously supported us throughout the stress of the HSC. Good luck messages, friendly emails and Tutor Group check-ins are all prime examples of the tightknit Mulhall community. Term 1 was filled with choir rehearsals in anticipation of the Music Festival in Term 2, celebrating the musical talents of Loreto students. Mulhall’s spirit shone through as we were victorious in winning the Spirit Cup. Our amazing conductor, Zara Oong, and accompanist, Ashley Zhao, led Mulhall with great composure singing Jessie J’s ‘Flashlight.’ A special thanks to Chloe Oong, for providing us with her tremendous musical talent and support. Our growth as a Mulhall community was especially evident in our overwhelming sense of spirit throughout the Athletics Carnival. Thanks to Bethany Conlon and the whole of Year 12 for leading the House throughout the carnival. Mulhall’s continual dedication and growth as a community were evident in our participation in several inter-House events, where many more victories were taken home.
Thank you to all the Mulhall Year 12s, for your continued dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment to Mulhall House. Although this year has been difficult, Year 12 has displayed excellent resilience and flexibility throughout these unprecedented times. A special thank you to the House Council for their amazing work over the year: Zara Oong (Academic Activities), Ellie Richardson (Liturgy), Bethany Conlon (Sport), Chloe Oong (Music), Ella Donlevy (Social Justice), Ashlea Ahmed (SRC/Communications), Zoey Hartshorne (Creative Arts), Lily Gavan (Ecology) and Georgia Cluff (Performing Arts). On behalf of Mulhall, I would like to thank all the Tutors, Advisors and Assistant Tutors who have relentlessly supported us throughout this chaotic year; a special thanks to Miss Taaffe, who has been the most incredible Head of House, leading us through these unprecedented times with constant care. It has been my absolute pleasure to lead Mulhall in 2020-21. Thank you to everyone who has made the experience so special, and I know Mulhall will continue to thrive in years to come.
