HOUSES Schofield

Another year has come and gone at Schofield House, and to everyone’s benefit, we had the privilege of living without lockdowns. In not taking this for granted, Schofield’s coveted House spirit strengthened, and the participation across all students was incredible. We were also privileged with an influx of enthusiastic Year 9s, who got to learn and experience the true Schofield culture.

Beginning the year in a familiar fashion, Andrew Nguyen led our House in singing Take Me to Church by Hozier. Ray He, Steven Wang, Brendan Tse, and Richard Liu, performed in the instrumental playing Piano Trio in G Minor by Clara Schumann. For the third year in a row, Schofield was robbed of victory, however, we maintained our yearly rise coming equal 4th overall in the House singing, and we managed to earn first place in our instrumental item.

Schofield’s efforts in the House Multi-Sport Competition displayed our multitude of skills across a range of different sports. An astounding performance in Badminton and Soccer assisted in Schofield claiming first place. With immense passion and a strong belief in success, Schofield continued our triumph in House Athletics with another first-place domination. Special mentions go to Billy Swingler and Lachlan Ross, who consistently exhibited their talent and zeal throughout the day as they assisted the House in becoming victors. With extreme determination and confidence, Schofield also achieved first place in Cross Country. Our superb runners, such as Harrison Car and Hayden Newman, continued with their renowned prowess as they came first and fourth, respectively. The annual Push-Up Challenge returned again on 1 June as students across the School were tasked to complete 3,139 push-ups over the course of 24 days. With tutor groups transforming into gym class, Schofield came first for the number of participants (51) and also first in the School for the number of push-ups with a whopping 51,513 push-ups completed. Schofield’s House Swimming endeavours were confronted with a number of injuries and absentees, however, this did not stop engrained resilience as we swam competitively with various people filling in for events. A huge thank you to Yanning Zhang, one of the best swimmers the School has ever had, for his vigorous efforts as he participated to the absolute maximum (literally). Schofield House has been so privileged to have him as a swimmer over the past four years. After years of House Drama being cancelled, Schofield was finally able to perform our exhilarating, high-quality parody of Batman, with our eloquent and humorous script written by alum Connor Assauw (2021). It was one of many times when Schofieldians of all years collaborated to create a masterpiece. I’m extremely grateful for William Allsop and his magnificent directing skills as he was the mastermind behind all the choreography and made our play run smoothly. Schofield also had the most successful charity event as the Annual Great Debate returned once again, with the controversial and entertaining topic of ‘marijuana and its legalisation in Australia’. A massive thank you to the students and teachers who debated and put incredible amounts of effort into delivering their speeches. Schofield was able to raise over $1,500 in support of the local charity HoMie, which provides aid for those experiencing homelessness. To Mr Heyes, it brought tears to my eyes after hearing the news of you stepping down as Head of House for Schofield. It’s obvious to everyone how passionate you are about this House and one of the reasons you have been leading us for over 23 years. You are the embodiment of Schofield’s culture and will be an integral part of it forever. The bliss and joy you brought to this House is something I will cherish forever. On behalf of Schofield House, we are all so grateful for your contribution to this House and your legacy here will live on endlessly. To Dr Mandusic, under such short notice and such little time, you have done so much for our House. The level of effort and zeal you bring to the House is something that does not go unnoticed and that we all admire from you. A big thank you for the overwhelming compassion you have shown us.

To all the Prefects, Leeshan Navaneetharaja, Liam Corr, Ethan Ensor, Ben Joy, Andrew Nguyen, Jonathan Pettolino, Lachlan Ross, Brendan Tse, and Billy Swingler. I am forever grateful for all the hard work you have put in throughout this year. I express the utmost gratitude towards you all and I couldn’t have asked for a better team surrounding me. Allan Next year looks extremely promising for Schofield. I wish Tang you the best and hope for success in all aspects of life and especially House events. You are in the very capable hands of your 2023 Captain Will Stamper and I’m sure he’ll carry on the unique, coveted culture of Schofield. I urge you all to participate in as much as you can and make the most of the Camberwell Grammar experience because before you know it, it will be coming to an end.
