House Family Captains' Report

FROM THE HOUSE FAMILY CAPTAINS

2021…What a year! Despite the introduction of clubs during House Family time on Wednesdays. We us captains still valued every moment spent with the Averill family. We started the year strong winning both Senior and Junior School Swimming Carnivals, but our Mighty Averill Spirit didn’t stop there. Through teamwork and great levels of participation from all ages, we managed to achieve a very close second place at Athletics Carnival and Cross Country Carnival.

Averill House has represented the success of its members at state and national levels for athletics and academics and as captains, we couldn’t be prouder of our House Family’s achievements. As students we appreciate the opportunity to be the 2021 Averill House Captains and leaders of the school.

We would also like to acknowledge our House Family Coach, Ms. McQuaker for the support and guidance we have received throughout the year. A big thanks to the other Year 12 students for their co-operation. For future captains, good luck with your studies and leading the family, always stay “Mighty in Spirit”.

2021 has been a year we will never forget. Even though we didn’t get to spend as much time with everyone as we wanted to, we are still blessed to have been your captains and make these long-lasting memories together.

Huge shout out to Murdz for being the backbone of House Family this year, always encouraging us to be the best that we can be and pushing us out of our comfort zone.

Thank you to our Dennis House Family for the non-stop support and enthusiasm, despite the many challenges we faced this year. It was hard losing 2 of our captains this year, but you guys made it so much easier for us to push through.

To the 2022 Dennis House Family Captains, we hope that next year will be just as special as ours has been, if not more for you guys. Good luck on your future endeavours and remember ‘we are a force to be reckoned with’!

Sebastyn Pinnington MacDonald What an excellent, exciting and extraordinary year for Evans. As captains, this year flew past but don’t be mistaken; we still achieved a lot. We showed the rest of the competition how to soar and to serve by winning Cross Country, Athletics Carnival and the House Family Fun Day soccer competition. To say this year was a breeze; however, is far from the truth as we did face some adversity. Our biggest challenge was losing our beloved House Family Couch, Mrs Corry. Mrs Corry was our Evans House Family Coach for two years and has since moved on, leaving the role for Mrs Butler to fill and she has not shied away. Mrs Butler has stepped up and led the way for Evans to finish off this year on a high note. As much as we had a rough ride, we always had help and support around us to get us through the rough times. Even though we as captains may get the recognition, it is those behind the scenes and the rest of our cohort that deserve the credit. They are the people that keep us level-headed, and remind us what is important and the requirements we must fulfil as House Captains. It is our legacy that we have left behind that makes us most proud. Our house family is filled with the best kids in the school, and it is shown in how they act and portray themselves. Evans never goes down dying and we always try to the end, and it is seen in everything we do. At the end of the day, Evans is the best and we always soar above the rest. 2021 was an eventful, fun-filled year with weekly house family time, the introductions of chapel clubs, sporting carnivals and house family chapels. We’ve enjoyed spending time with each other, and getting to know our newest Young House Family members. We enjoyed the new flexibility of chapel clubs that allowed the students to participate in things they were interested in. We would like to give a special shout out to the Young House Family athletes who broke records, made it to district and state level comps, and were age champions in their fields. You guys are amazing! We want to thank Young House Family for their continued support and for contributing positively to our House Family spirit, because team work really does make the dream work. Special thanks to the Young House Family mentor teachers, your support and encouragement was really appreciated.
