Our House Party, as always, started the year with a real bang and had all the girls ready for action. Although bewildered by images of bizarre orange costumes the Year 85 managed to fit right in with the rest of the House and began to understand why Hirschfeld House is always buzzing with bliss. They continued to impress us with their passionate participation in the Year 81nterhouse volleyball competition and winning third place. it was then at the Interhouse swimming competition that the whole House participated to the fullest and created a splash at Chandler swimming complex. We gathered in flair, style and spirit and amazed everyone with our loud and dynamic war cries which made us hard to compete with. competition under the wonderful direction of our Drama Captains, Louise Firth and Sarah Hack.

Term Two was another fun but different term for the House with the start of The Hirschfeld Game 2000. It was a chance for the whole House to join in, mingle and have a ball in a competitive round of games and treats. There was laughter and screams shared by many each week and it concluded with a more cohesive and productive House ready to face third term's exciting challenges.
