GOODLET HOUSE CAPTAINS’ REPORT

2021 was another extremely successful year for Goodlet House. Goodlet won all three sporting carnivals and displayed amazing House spirit and participation in all activities.

House Event

We began in Term 4 2021 with the Goodlet Inter-house Volleyball Competition to encourage House spirit and friendly competition between the Houses. The Volleyball Competition went for two weeks during Wednesday lunchtimes, beginning with the Years 7 to 9 teams, followed by the older teams. Goodlet won both the Junior and Senior competitions. It was great to see both experienced and beginner players participating.

House Time

A highlight was definitely the House mascot dance-off poolside!

This year, to increase House spirit throughout the College, the introduction of House Time occurred fortnightly, with different year groups of Goodlet girls coming together to participate in various activities. Through vertical groups, Goodlet girls participated in a House emblem and motto competition, with the best becoming the official House motto and emblem. In the second activity, Goodlet girls made white and blue bag braids to wear on their school bags. House Time allowed for new connections between year groups and successfully encouraged and strengthened House spirit.

House Charity

The girls also learned about our 2021 House charity, The Starlight Children’s Foundation, through watching videos on what the charity is, and how it aims to increase happiness for ill children.

Carnivals

Goodlet successfully won the Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals and defended all three titles from 2020. In the Swimming Carnival, each girl participated in a range of 50 metre strokes and showed great encouragement in the freestyle and medley relays. A highlight was definitely the House mascot dance-off poolside! In the Athletics Carnival, each girl competed in the 100 metres race, shot put and discus, and cheered on the House relay.

Thanks

Finally, a massive thank you to all of the Goodlet girls and staff who participated so actively in all of the initiatives and activities that occurred throughout the year. A big thank you must go to Mr Fathers, the Goodlet House Co-ordinator. Additionally, thank you to Ms Attley, House Co-ordinator, who helped ensure all House activities ran smoothly. The year was a success because of the girls’ dedication, House spirit and participation. Sophie Chamberlain, Goodlet House Captain Georgina Seymour, Goodlet House Deputy Captain
