Wilson House Captain

2021 was a year of many changes and some complications, but these challenges helped to build a sense of community in Wilson.

The year started with the Swimming Carnival, which was a great starting point to begin building the community, showing the strength of Wilson House. The second opportunity of the year was the Cross Country Carnival. This Carnival allowed for me and other helpers to build Spirit across all of the events throughout the day. While we may not have won the overall competition at the two carnivals, “Wilsonites” never give up on themselves and their fellow peers.

Wilson never has a problem filling up events and races to win as many points as possible. “Wilsonites”step up to the plate! At the Athletics Carnival, even though we didn’t get the chance to participate in the track events due to wet weather, Wilson still gave the other Houses a fair competition by filling all available spots in events.

In the Cultural competitions, Wilson brought it home! Like every other year, our competition in Pavement Art was met with huge success, placing in all categories. Again, Wilson submitted a team for RecyKle and the team pushed together: chanting and pushing each other to the limit to win in a first-time-ever tie for First place with Ramsay. These two events proved to show that Wilson is, once again, a force to be reckoned with!

As a solo captain I have been faced with many challenges. I have realised, as time has gone by, that this makes it even more of a privilege to be the Captain of the best House available! I’ve been lucky to work with my peers, both at and in preparation for Carnivals, and it has been an honour to lead with their support, bringing this amazing House further and further forward.

I would like to thank Mrs Hughes for her help and guidance. She has shown me how to better myself as a student and a Captain and is always pushing me to achieve my best at any Carnivals or events. I wish the Captains of 2022, and the entire Wilson House, the best of luck in the coming years. May you continue the legacy of one of the best Houses. GO WILSON!!!
