2021 House Competition

mr Brendan Douglas | Assistant Principal – Student Wellbeing

Not only did the dreaded COVID-19 continue to give us all headaches in 2021, we also had issues with the rain. Bad weather intervened and meant we were not able to get our Athletics Carnival to run. Such a shame!

Over the year, points are given for participation in social justice activities, sporting carnivals, debating, striving for academic excellence and in particular the merits given for those acts of spontaneous kindness that are present here at Salesian College Chadstone. Heads of House are challenged to bring this positive and joyous spirit to the surface, and in 2021 we had some fine leaders in this area. Georgia Dow led Annecy, Dylan Chow Collinson, Paul Azar Moroney and Chris Donaldson Savio house. Georgina Dow and Annecy were the holders of the 2020 Cup and the other Houses were desperate to take it away from them.

ACADEmIC SHIELD

Points are awarded to boys over the year for the quality of the academic work they submit to staff. The Academic Shield is awarded to the House which manages to achieve the most points for the year. Last year it was Annecy House which took the prize, and their strong form continued on into 2021.

CITIZENSHIP SHIELD

The Citizenship Shield is awarded to the House that encourages its students to be outwardly supportive of fundraising and charitable events during the year. Once again, this was made harder this year due to the pandemic. Annecy backed up again to take their second shield in a row.

CULTURAL SHIELD

1. Collinson 2. Savio 3. Annecy 4. Moroney The Cultural Shield is awarded to the House that gains the most points for participating in Debating, Public Speaking and other cultural events on the College calendar. Collinson continued on with the excellent form winning the Cultural Shield two years in a row.

SPORT SHIELD

1. Annecy 2. Savio 3. Collinson 4. Moroney The Sport Shield is awarded to the House that performs best at the House Swimming, Athletics and Cross-Country carnivals. As we were not able to run the Athletics Carnival this year, the points for this section were taken from the Swimming Carnival and Cross Country. While it’s great to have athletes who can star, the real winners are the teams who ensure that they have the utmost in participation. Points are also awarded for positive cheering on of competitors at various events. Annecy House kept it stellar 2020 form going and emerged with the Cup.

2021 HOUSE CUP

1. Annecy 2. Collinson 3. Savio 4. Moroney Annecy have shown that pulling together, turning up and doing your best once again will always get your team over the line. A wonderful sustained effort by Annecy who demonstrated that 2020 was by no means a fluke. Miss Georgina Dow has done an amazing job as leader of Annecy House. The work that student House leaders do in support of the Head of House cannot be underestimated. Their enthusiasm to make our school one where we all feel that we belong is outstanding. My sincere thanks to them all. I’m sure we are all looking forward to a year in which we are all at school every day so we can continue to contribute to and improve the positive culture of our school in 2022.
