The 2021 House Competition started with a Bang! Well two bangs actually…
The starting gun sounded twice, once for the Girls All College Relay and once for the Boys.
It was the first time the College had hosted what is sure to become the annual ‘Hassall Gift’, a foot race involving students from Prep to Year 12.
All of the famous foot races in Australia are called ‘gifts’ - the Stawell Gift, Botany Bay Gift, Flash Gift, Macksville Gift, and now we have a race to add to that list - the Hassall Gift.
Congratulations to the Lewis Girls who roared to victory - a great start to the year for Lewis!
The Carmichael Cougars showed their pace as the Cougars pounced ahead.
Thanks to all the students who competed and made the event an amazing time for all involved.
The great carnival atmosphere was a culture building activity for the whole College, but we can only imagine how that will continue to grow in future years - maybe a band playing on the hill in the future? The winning teams singing the House Songs?
I am sure it will be an event to look forward to for many years to come. The Prep students who watched and competed today did so well, and will have something to look forward to as they celebrate the 'Hassall Gift' for the rest of their College journey.
