Glowrey House Report

What a huge term it has been for Glowrey House!

There have been so many moments to celebrate, but undoubtedly one of the highlights was winning Casa del Talento for the third consecutive year. While the result was exciting, what made me most proud was seeing our House spirit on full display. From the students who performed and participated, to those who cheered from the audience, Glowrey came together as one House and supported one another.

A huge thank you to every student who was involved, as well as the additional staff members who gave their time and energy to help us bring everything together. These events simply would not happen without people being willing to step in, get involved and support our young people.

I would also like to thank our Glowrey parents/carers and families. Your support in working alongside us and ensuring your young people were at school on the day, participating and making the most of these opportunities is greatly appreciated. House spirit is built through participation, and we could not do it without your support.

Our Glowrey Word of the Week is “Upstander”, linking closely with Bullying No Way Week. I have challenged our Glowrey students to think about what it means to be someone who does not simply stand by, but instead chooses to act with courage, kindness and compassion. I have encouraged our young people to go out of their way to include others, notice when someone may need support and be the person who helps create a community where everyone feels valued and accepted.

As we move towards the end of the year, we are also preparing to say goodbye to our Year 12 Glowrey students. This is always a bittersweet time. They have contributed so much to our House community, and while we are excited to see where life takes them next, we will miss them.

I would particularly like to publicly acknowledge our Year 12 Glowrey House Captains, Ava G and Mitchell P. Their hard work, dedication and commitment across every major House event this year has been incredible. They have consistently been willing to step up, get involved and do whatever has been needed to support Glowrey. I am incredibly grateful for everything they have contributed to our House and for the leadership they have shown throughout the year.

Have a fantastic end of the term.

With Gratitude.
