I hope all families had a restful and enjoyable break and that everyone is feeling refreshed and ready for the term ahead. It has been a fantastic start to the year for Ricci House, with a strong sense of energy, connection, and pride already evident across our students.

We have had a number of highlights across term one, beginning with the Swimming Carnival, where Ricci finished in an impressive 2nd place. This was a wonderful result and a reflection of the commitment, teamwork, and willingness of our students to get involved and represent their House with pride.

Athletics Day was another standout occasion. While we are still awaiting the final results, what was most striking was the incredible level of participation from Ricci students. The sea of green across the track and field events was hard to miss, and it was fantastic to see so many students stepping up, challenging themselves, and supporting one another throughout the day. Regardless of the final outcome, it is this strong sense of community, involvement, and House spirit that truly defines Ricci. In many ways, this is the real measure of success, and something all students who participated should be extremely proud of.

To round out the term, Ricci celebrated a great win in the House Basketball Tournament on the final day. This was a particularly pleasing moment, not only because of the result, but because of the high level of student involvement. It was wonderful to see so many students eager to represent Ricci, demonstrating teamwork, encouragement, and a genuine sense of pride in their House. These moments continue to strengthen the positive culture we are building together.

We would also like to acknowledge and thank our families for their generous support of the Hot Cross Bun Drive. The response from the Ricci community was fantastic, and we are very grateful for the contributions made. It is always encouraging to see our community come together to support important causes, with all proceeds going towards Project Compassion.

As we enter into Term 2, we are excited to continue building on this strong foundation. Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support of Ricci House. We are looking forward to another positive and productive term ahead.
