Ricci House Captain Update

This year the Houses have had such a massive start to the year. So many people have pushed out of their comfort zone and given various different activities a go.

House crest competition

This year the Heads of Houses and House Captains have created a House Crest competition that will produce Crest that represent each house. Students are designing crest that are intertwined into the values of:

- Identity and Belonging

- Tradition and Heritage

- Recognition and Differentiation

- Inspiration and Motivation

- Unity and Team Spirit

These crest will be represented on banners and will have:

- Indigenous animal

- Ignatius Aspect

- Ignatius values

- Symbol about House Saint (eg. Matteo Ricci)

- Quotes about House Saint (eg. Matteo Ricci)

- House colour

The crests will be finalised at the end of this term and presented in term 3.

Cross country

On the 15th of May, the school held their annual cross country where students run 3.5km around Lake Lorne. The day was a great success with Ricci winning the day.

Ignatian leaders

Feast day

Feast Day is coming up and will be held on the 30th of July, where students will spend the day with their friends, participating in activities, and helping plant plants to improve the environment around the school. A new tradition that started last year, the Feast Day House Performance, is something no one wants to miss.

Paper aeroplane competition

On May 29th, MacKillop House will be hosting a paper aeroplane competition with lots of house points and prizes up for grabs. Events like these help build a better school community and allow students to show off their talents.
