England House has worked well as a unit and shown themselves to have tremendous house spirit throughout the year. There has been interaction between the dif- ferent age groups, which has been good for all concern- ed, and we have gained much f rom the support, enthus- iasm and willing participation of all the House staff . The girls with leadership roles in the house have worked well throughout the year, and we have been given the chance to take part in a wide range of activities and have made the most of our opportunities. Under the guidance of Mrs. Swayne, our House group teachers, Leonie, and our House group seniors, form and sports captains, we have survived a variety of challenges most successfully. Some of the more nlemorable ones include the lnterhouse swimming, athletics and round robins, School Day, the House Assembly, and probably the most enjoyable the England House Camp. The England House Weekend Camp was held on the 17th and lBth of May at Leonie's Camp Duckadang, north of Linville in the Brisbane Valley. We experienced exciting canoeing wlth Mr. Emery, highy competitive out- door games with the Fairlies, hiking and plenty of billie tea and cake with Mr. Swayne, and Mrs. Swayne's own brand of table tennis and tennis. "The night time activities were endless." (Quote from Mrs. Swayne while yawning.) The food prepared by the Derringtons was delicious. It was a pleasant and relax- ing weekend, and 50 girls with representatives from each class attended. Our sincere thanks must go to Mr. and Mrs. Derrington, Mr. and Mrs. Emery, Mr. and Mrs. Fairlie, Mr. and Mrs. Swayne and their families, for mak- ing our camp most enjoyable and worthwhile
