HOUSES Steven

2022 has seen a great return to all the House events we have missed over the last two years due to lockdowns. I’m especially proud of all the Steven students for continuing to exemplify our House values of courage, sportsmanship, and integrity with everything we do.

I’m so grateful to have been the Captain to witness Steven take back our dominant streak of House Music victories, winning five out of the last six House Music events. This was only possible from the tremendous leadership and effort behind the scenes and the vast depth of our musicians. Ben Bosmans did an outstanding job conducting the difficult Latin piece Sanctus by Libera, as well as our accompanist Eugene Goh whose musical wizardry kept us in tune and on beat every bar, coming first in the vocal section. Our instrumental group of Ben Bosmans, Charles Campbell-Cowan, Michael Cheung, Joshua Morgan, Michael Hare, Joshua Hui, and Eugene Goh did an amazing job to put together a great rendition of an original composition written by Eugene himself. A huge shoutout to Benjamin Price as well for his work behind the scenes organising stage arrangements.

Although coming last in Athletics, our effort and positive spirit were unmatched. It’s days like these that bring so much happiness to me as a Captain, where the House comes together as one and cheers everyone on to the finish. Astounding mentions of team spirit go to Jack Spalding for running his heart out in his Steven-coloured tutu, as well as all the other students who put their hand up for any last-minute events due to sickness and injury, even if it was out of their comfort zone.

After three years of cancellations, we were glad to perform an original parody of Forrest Gump written by Colin Jiang and Finnian Mahaffy for House Drama. A notable mention to Nathan Bosmans who did a tremendous job of being the main character, Forest. It was also so great to see so many Year 12s coming back for their final year of House Drama. A huge mention to Colin Jiang for his highest levels of effort in directing the play, organising everyone’s lines, blocking, and stage directions, as well as Finnian Mahaffy for being the head of lighting and sound.

The Steven students also had a really strong performance in House Swimming. Special mentions to Lewis Clarke, Rory Noonan, and Sam Veitch for their exceptional performances in the Year 12 division, placing Steven 1st for Year 12.

It was an honour to lead the House this year, I couldn’t have done it without our Vice Captain Michael Hare, the House Prefects, Tutors, and Dr Berg, who has done an amazing job as our new Head of House and I wish him and Steven the best in the future. And to Mr Young, your long-lasting words of courage, teamwork, and care for us students have not been forgotten, and I’m sure the ‘PMY’ chants will continue to be a big part of Steven for years to come.

I also wish the best to the Steven House Captain for next year, Joshua Hui, and his House Prefects who will no doubt lead the House by example and continue to portray what Steven House is about: participation, teamwork, and effort.
