Goodlet House

The House Day in Term 4 2019 consisted of a Christmas Pantomime which the entire House participated in. We created a two-minute remix of Jingle Bells and choreographed a dance to perform. We painted blue stripes on our faces and demonstrated great House spirit. With enthusiasm, commitment and excitement the Goodlet girls gave it their all and came away with first place. This was a rewarding experience which we were all very proud of.

Once again Pymble hosted the annual Swimming Carnival which was split into two days; Years 7 to 9 on day one and Years 10 to 12 on day two. Our amazing facilities allowed for each House to have their own section of the stands which we decorated elaborately with royal blue posters and balloons. The girls had the opportunity to participate in a variety of events throughout the day including freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly, while cheering loudly with lots of House spirit and enthusiasm. The girls won a variety of place ribbons, resulting in a great number of House points for Goodlet.

The girls all showed great efforts by participating in the Cross Country Carnival, whether they ran or walked. It was great to see the day filled with smiles, fun and laughter. The Goodlet girls’ royal blue was worn with pride and the determination and the support among the girls was incredible.

This year Goodlet’s House charity was Red Cross. Australian Red Cross focuses on building a better society based on people helping people. We hosted a clothing drive and asked students to donate one quality item. This was a huge success with 179 quality items donated and sold with the funds raised going to help Australian Red Cross support vulnerable people throughout the community, both in Australia and across the Asia Pacific. You should all be very proud of your efforts.

The Athletics Carnival was a beautiful sunny day full of cheering and fun. We had a large number of girls participate in the unseeded events, racing with their friends and receiving valuable House points. The day ended with House relays, with Goodlet showing their grit and camaraderie. It was amazing for Goodlet to come away with another win!

Finally, I would like to say a huge thank you to all the students and staff in Goodlet, you all made it such a fun and successful year. It was a privilege to be the Captain and I wish Goodlet the best of luck for the years ahead.
