BACK TO BACK CHAmPIONS!

A rocky start to the 2021 House calendar, with wild weather and COVID restrictions resulting in multiple postponements and cancellations to our carnivals. Yet, with arguably the best leadership team Annecy has ever seen, fearlessly led by Captains Kellan Hill and Thomas Valle, we were ready to take on any challenge that crossed our path. When the time finally came to jump into the swimming pool, Annecy was ready and eager. The participation throughout the whole day from Annecy members was something to be proud of, we manned every race and ultimately participated our way to the top. Sitting in second position all day, it all came down to the relays. With Robbie Miller shouting encouragement through the megaphone, our captain Kellan jumped in the pool for his first ever swimming race, proving to all that it’s never too late to get involved. The surprising carnival win for Annecy made it all the more special. After a cancelled Cross Country in 2020, it can only be assumed the other three Houses forgot to show up for this year’s event. Annecy easily took first place in all but one year level. Honourable mentions to champions: Trent Papenfus (12), Enrique Soria (11), Peter Holland (10), Marcus Churchhill-King (9) and Ethan Gemetzis (7). Annecy can certainly run!

It was an absolute blast leading Annecy to another year of victory. What a win!

KELLAN HILL YEAR 12 ANNECY HOUSE CAPTAIN

Shrove Tuesday is always a delicious highlight of the year, our leaders arriving at school at the crack of dawn to feed the hungry masses. Chris Ciorciari, a born natural behind the BBQ, flipped hundreds of pancakes as the rest of the boys piled on the toppings and coaxed in the crowds. Annecy’s admirable efforts went towards helping those who need it most.

Annecy House put its whole heart in every single day this year. The spirit and unity within its members led them to the House Cup win in back-to-back years. I have been blessed to work alongside dedicated Year 12 Captains Kellan Hill, Thomas Valle, Keelan Corcoran and Robbie Miller. We wish these boys and the Year 12 group every success as they graduate and in their future endeavours. I also wish to extend my sincere appreciation to the amazing Annecy Leaders Chris Ciorciari, Mitch Wain, Peter Holland and Jack Iverson. Annecy, you make me so proud, keep on roaring!

It has been a pleasure to be around so many hard working and dedicated people. A group of boys that have led Annecy to victory for two years in a row! Annecy will continue to strive for excellence and integrity!
