Wylie House

This year was an exciting one for Wylie, especially due to the integration of House and Connect which enabled greater engagement throughout Years 7 to 12. We started 2020 off with a bang, winning the Swimming Carnival and establishing ourselves as a strong House. And although our Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals were delayed, we still showed up strong and tried our hardest in all events.

When welcoming our new Wylie wolves, we were delighted with the enthusiasm shown by the Year 7 girls in their first week of school. Deputy Captains Jennifer Zhou and Rachel D’Cunha and I helped the girls with their transition into high school, sharing our knowledge on all things school and technology, as well as helping them to decorate their fabulously yellow Connect rooms.

Although they were not new to the Wylie family, Years 8 to 11 got the exciting opportunity to be in Connect classes with their fellow Wylie wolves. Although not all of the planned activities could happen due to circumstances, I am positive that we set the foundation for fabulous, House-focused Connect activities next year.

Even though many activities and House Days had to be cancelled, we still participated in the House Netball Competition. With a fabulous team of girls from each year, as well as particularly spectacular involvement from the Year 7 girls, we were able to have a fun game against Inglehome. And although we lost, I know that all of the players involved tried their hardest, and most importantly, had lots of fun.

House Day 2019 This was a very exciting day with our fabulous performance of All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey. I was so proud of the girls for coming second, and for overwhelmingly winning audience’s choice. All of the Wylie wolves got involved and came together to create a spectacular and very memorable show, it was incredible to watch, and I am certain that everyone enjoyed the day.

Many of the girls throughout the College showed off their fabulous onesies and made R U OK? Day memorable and meaningful on 4 September. It was always my plan to support this charity in my term as House Captain, but it was especially important to me, my Deputies, and to the Wylie wolves, that we emphasised its importance and focused on spreading its message rather than fundraising. I hope that our open dialogue with Dr Hadwen, livestreamed on the day, has helped remove some of the taboo surrounding mental health.
