G ANDHI HOUSE LINCOLN HOUSE MANDELA HOUSE

I am thrilled to share the success of our recent Colour Run and Mr. Quan’s efforts in planning the event. Last term, our students came together to raise $1700 for those affected by the Turkey-Syria earthquake that occurred earlier this year. This is a testament to the compassion and generosity of our students, and I am incredibly proud of their efforts. Thank you

We had two big events this week: the Interhouse Cross Country on Thursday, 4 May and, if you are reading this upon release, the Interhouse Performing Arts Festival tonight, Friday 5 May.

These events are the perfect opportunity for our students to showcase their skills and, for Gandhi House, our renown competitive spirit. With a huge surge in house points up for grabs, I am confident that Gandhi House will come out on top! Let’s hope so – Go Gandhi

It is wonderful to see the sea of red participating in these events and showing their support for Gandhi House. I look forward to seeing the continued support of all the passionate parents of our House tonight – please come dressed to support our Gandhi Champions!

Mr Alex Hanssen Head of Gandhi House (Acting)

This week has been an extremely busy one for Interhouse events, with the Cross Country happening on Thursday in the beautiful setting of Kings Park and the Interhouse Preforming Arts Festival happening tonight at the Perth Town Hall. It was a day with lovely weather on Thursday and it was terrific to see our students in their House shirts running the course and supporting the House. Everyone who participated gained points for the House – let the best House win!

I would also like to extend a huge thank you to all our students participating in the Theatre-Challenge and Dance Competition tonight. The amount of time and dedication to the event has been commendable and I am so thankful for all the help and support. Our newly formatted Performing Arts Festival with a new overall cup will be a much fought after and highly prized event.

Lastly, on Thursday 18 May, we will be hosting our first annual Lincoln House Parent Sundowner here at the school. More information regarding the event will come out shortly, so please keep an eye on your in box for invitations and RSVP details. I hope to see many of our families in attendance – dressed in yellow of course!

Welcome to Term 2!

Last term was the introduction to the weekly PCG House activities and the Mandela “Greatest of All Time” Award (Mandela GOAT). Congratulations to Mr Sloan’s PCG M7 for winning the most events during PCG activities last term and taking the Mandela PCG Cup for Term 1. Pizza lunch is on the way. Well done to Zuri Hawkins for winning the Mandela GOAT for Term 1. She was nominated by her peers and teachers for contributing greatly to the School and House and supporting her peers.

Last term was certainly an eventful – and successful one for Mandela, with victory in both the Swimming Carnival’s Sync Swim, as well as several of the Interhouse competitions. It was great to see members of Mandela participating. We are second in the House Cup standing by less than 200 points, a great effort. I highly encourage students to continue participating this term as well!

As always, there are a multitude of events this term, which started with the Interhouse Cross Country which took place this Thursday, and then the Interhouse Performing Arts Festival tonight. Good luck to all students and congratulations on doing such a great job so far, you can be proud.

Mr Tom Dempers Head of Mandela House
