HOUSES Macneil

2022 proved to be another year of resounding success for Macneil, in which the undeniable optimism and perseverance of the House remained steady. Macneil’s dominance was established early in the year, as the newly inducted Year 9s experienced their first taste of Senior School vigour in an imposing rendition of Vance Joy’s Fire and the Flood. Led by Evan Chiu with flare and unwavering enthusiasm, the final product truly dazzled the other Houses as they witnessed greatness in awe and envy. Such a stellar performance was consolidated with fine work from our instrumentalists, who brought a virtuosic touch to Experience by Ludovico Einaudi.

Despite the suspenseful nature of the annual House Music Competition, the day concluded in a relatively anti-climactic fashion. For the first time in history, a three-way tie rendered Music the winner of the competition in 2022! A wave of gratitude is in order for the teachers and House Prefects who assisted in facilitating the smooth running of rehearsals. The annual House Athletics Carnival was approached with a yearning for victory, as the yellow team sought to reinforce its widely ratified athletic superiority. Various students starred throughout the day, including Joshua Kohlman, Henry Shirrefs, and Jack Nicholson. Notably, Mitchell Graham took home the individual bronze medal for his age group as a product of his grit and sheer determination. Although just falling short of a podium finish, it was the overall unity and consistency adopted by the students that led to a satisfactory performance, celebrated by a rendition of our traditional ‘Yellow Submarine’.

Macneil fiercely attacked the 2022 House Swimming Competition, as the Year 12 leaders sought to make the most of their last carnival. Led by esteemed swimmers Richard Luo, Joshua Kohlman, James Kerferd, and Fin Williams, the students put their best flipper forward in order to ultimately take home the trophy!

The postponement of 2021’s House Drama Competition saw a rescheduling to June. Macneil leapt onto the stage, displaying an abundance of theatrical prowess. Directed and organised by Year 11’s Ravin Desai, Jacob Clark, and Zane Fares in conjunction with protagonists Lachlan Easton and Ethan Aw, our witty production of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off proved to be a crowd favourite. Boasting a cast of over 50 members, the production was a resounding success that satisfyingly capped off a few months of tireless organisation.

Finally, Macneil’s accolades in 2022 would be negligible without the resolute input of Vice-Captain Lachlan Wei, coupled with the ongoing support provided by the House Prefects (Evan Chiu, Ethan Aw, Zach Burnet, Simon Lewison, Charles Robertson, and Marcus Hill). Furthermore, one cannot overstate the contribution of Head of House Mr Green, who continues to provide immeasurable value as he continues his unmatched service to the School. As such, I would like to extend my gratitude to his team of Tutors, who have worked tirelessly throughout the year to ensure that our students experience a balanced and enjoyable school life. As our Camberwell Grammar experience which we have been so fortunate to enjoy concludes, I congratulate the incoming House Captain Ravin Desai, a flawless leader destined to guide the House to glory in 2023.

To my fellow Macneil class of 2022, I thank you for the countless memories over the last six years. I have great confidence that you will fondly cherish your time as a member of such a community and the bond that now forever holds us together as Macneilians.
