WOOLCOCK

024 | BRISBANE GIRLS GRAMMAR SCHOOL 2022

T his year for Woolcock was an incredibly successful one, full of spirit, excitement, and of course, yellow. We are so incredibly proud of every Woolcock-atoo for everything that we, as a House, have achieved this year. Our goals for 2022 were to unite Woolcock as a family, full of unbreakable support, while also representing the School’s focus on spirit, growth, and inclusivity. The Woolcock reputation has always been welcoming, kind natured, a House where everyone puts in 100 per cent, and this year was no different. Fireflies shine your light, lead us through the night was the motto devised by 12 Woolcock to embody everything that was so special about Woolcock House. Fireflies represent the unity and connections amongst all Woolcock students, which is something we hoped to continue to strengthen throughout the year. We began in Term 1 with a belated House Party where the girls were able to share their excitement for the year to come. With the theme of ‘Golden Days’ shaping many of the outfits, everyone showed off their gold and yellow, as well as many feather boas. Miss Woolcock was crowned once again, allowing a few Woolcock-atoos to share their passion for Woolcock while competing for the crown. We were lucky enough to start the Interhouse events off with a bang at Cross Country in Term 2. Our Woolcock-atoos rallied together and went all out in their running costumes, which returned the following term for the infamous Interhouse Athletics Carnival.

Woolcock’s immense spirit and dedication was also demonstrated off the field at the long awaited Interhouse Choir Competition, where we put on a show with Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi . The 2022 House Charity chosen by Woolcock was Breast Friends—an organisation committed to raising funds to fight breast cancer. The Year 11 ice cream sandwich stall in Term 3 was very successful, and some Woolcock students from both Year 11 and Year 12 were fortunate enough to attend the Breast Friends Afternoon Out, a charity luncheon where we could learn more about the organisation and help raise funds. This year showed the strength of Woolcock girls as they overcame unprecedented times during floods and COVID-19, proving their collective resilience and unity. We would like to thank our wonderful Head of House, Mrs Ross, for providing us all with never-ending kindness, as well as the Woolcock families and House Group teachers for their continuous support. And most importantly, we could not be more thankful for every Woolcock-atoo who helped to make this year so memorable. Emma Blucher (12W) and Ella Coxon (12W) HOUSE CAPTAINS
