Lang House

House Day at the end of Term 4 was so much fun and the girls all enjoyed watching the other Houses as well as performing themselves. Although it was challenging teaching the girls our dance, it was so much fun and I am certain the girls enjoyed themselves. Olivia Muffet, Year 12, said “It was the best House Day I have been a part of” and Ruby Nicholas, Year 10, seconded this saying “All the girls had so much fun! I wish we could do it again!” Overall it was such a successful day and one to remember at Pymble.

This year Pymble hosted the annual Swimming Carnival in the Centenary building over the course of two days. The first day consisted of the Years 7 to 9 girls and was filled with lots of laughter and cheers. So many girls joined in the swimming at all levels and it was so enjoyable to watch. We then competed in the House Cheer-off which we won and I was so proud, followed by the House Relay which we won again. The second day with the Years 10 to 12 girls was almost as successful – the girls cheered so loudly that I am sure a few lost their voices. Unfortunately, we didn’t bring home any trophies, but the girls all joined in the races and gave it their best shot! Overall the two days were so much fun!

The Athletics Carnival took place on the main oval. So many Lang girls competed in events as they supported and encouraged each other to get involved. The carnival started with the Years 7, 8 and 9 girls running, laughing and enjoying their time, followed by the Years 10, 11 and 12 girls who cheered so loudly and all got involved in the races – with some very impressive Lang costumes from the Year 12 girls. Then came the relay with one of our Deputy House Captains Evie Thomson competing. “Although we didn’t win we all had so much fun!” said Evie.

House Charity The Lang House charity for this year was the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Women’s Shelter. As a House we were so excited to support this charity as it is very close to our hearts. The money raising took place in the form of a lolly guessing competition which was so much fun to organise. We made a lolly jar for each School and carried them around at lunchtime. At the end of the day we announced the winners and they were so excited to receive their jars. We raised so much money for the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Women’s Shelter and hope that the girls will continue to support this charity in the years to come.

Lastly, I would like to say a massive thank you to all the Lang girls – you made my experience as a House Captain so enjoyable and your enthusiasm was amazing. Good luck in your future years!
