The event that highlighted our Beanland calendar was our clean sweep of the trophies at the Athletics Carnival.

Our Year BS shone. with runners including Sarah Wilson and Katherine McCulloch blitzing the track.

We are thrilled with the amount of enthusiasm and commitment Beanland girls have shown in 2003 and this has also been reflected in our successful results.

Amazing spirit, success, fun and vitality have been the recipe for the wonderful Year Beanland has enjoyed in 2003. From the pink streaks that dominated the athletics carnival to the wonderful drama performance, Beanianders have shown how remarkable they really are The Year started with introductions to our new Year BS, who have really made their mark on Beanland House, with their effervescent personalities and their impressive athletic ability. Early in the term we set spirits flying high with our annual House Party. As in the past, this Year's party was an afternoon filled with food. games, fun, plenty of pink and of course the Miss Beanland Competition. it was certainly a good chance for Beanianders of allgrades to join together and have a fun time Our Year 85 demonstrated star quality when they won the Inter house Volleyball Competition. They worked well together and whilst having a good time were also very successful - the first Year 8 group from Beanland to win the competition ever! In March, Beanland spirit hit the swimming pool with a wonderful show of involvement and enthusiasm from all girls. There was great participation shown by the girls who freestyled, backstroked and breaststroked their way down the 50-metre pool at Chandler. Not only did Beanland show great spirit in the

respective age group championship. This was a wonderful achievement
