Kalabara - issue 1

One of the unique propositions the Senior School is senior student leadership.

To take on the role of House Captain is to be the focal point of several significant days on the College Calendar. To lead the proverbial charge at Swimming Carnivals, Cross Country events or the House Music Challenge. The joy of victory and the agony of defeat are known well by the 2024 team of Senior House Captains that include Cooper Pilley and Maddi Ayerst for Currey House, Leah Barton and Nicholas Allen for Darcy House, Boston Browne and Edward Russell for Fletcher House, and Amelia Humble and Evie Bailey for Thomas House. Our College Houses have proud traditions dating back to their inception in 1999 and all have jostled to have their names etched into the House Cup, awarded annually at Celebration Evening.

Our 2024 House Captains have, as in years past, taken up the yoke of carrying the hope and dreams of our Senior School students, adorned in the splendour of blue, yellow, green and red. There is another facet of House Captaincy that fundamental to our concept of student leadership – service and fundraising for those less fortunate than ourselves.

In term 4 2023, Thomas House Captains Amelia Humble and Evie Bailey coordinated a ‘Colour Run’ in support of RUN DIGP. RUN DIPG is a charity
