College Life As everyone has experienced, lockdown was hard. However, the College Life Prefects tried their hardest to get the school together and to lift the levels of community and school spirit. At Mazenod, we pride ourselves on having a strong community and love to involve everyone in different aspects of the College, from old boys, families and current students. With the numerous lockdowns it was challenging for the boys to organise full school activities, so during lockdown 6 the leaders made a video in relation to R U OK Day with the importance of balancing homelife, academics and relationships with different people in their lives. We wish everyone luck for the year ahead and congratulate the Year 11 students who will be taking over the leadership roles for the College in 2022. Ryan Dean (Head Prefect) Sport and Nodder Spirit This year, the Sport and Nodder Spirit Prefects worked to build House spirit and encourage all students to enjoy healthy competitiveness and stay active. Dodgeball became a recurring theme for exciting lunchtime experiences. Term 1 saw a teacher versus Year 12 students Dodgeball match in the lead up to Mission Action Day. Term 2 was the
chance for Year 7, 8 and 9 students to get onto the court, with Oblate Week lunchtime activities that saw students engaging in good-spirited competition for their Houses. This was a great initiative that helped boost House spirit in the Junior School. Lockdowns caused the cancellation of many plans, but it did not stop the enthusiastic Sport Prefects from sharing fun ways to stay active and healthy whilst in remote learning. A huge thanks goes out to the Prefect team, who worked hard to provide the student body with unique and rewarding opportunities. James Russell (College Vice Captain) Student Wellbeing and Peer Support Despite a year filled with despairing lockdowns and dismal online classes, the Peer Support Prefects were still able to implement some initiatives. The Year 11 Peer Support program was still able to provide Year 7 students with some comfort and fun in their first year at the school.
