“...fighting with high spirits!”

GRIFFITH

Once again this year, Griffith welcomed a wonderful

notable events occurred and co-ordinating these events was often challenging. Therefore, the consistent enthusiasm and warm

new group of girls into the web of Reggie Redback, our legendary hero, endorsing the main quality of “...fighting with high spirits”. Although not the most sporty spiders, House Group members at all Year levels have embraced one another in true Griffith style by demonstrating that it is our spirit and the effort that we put in that really counts. This House spirit is reflected in the ideals and actions of many Griffith students, best summed up by the following quotation, “Fitting everything in can be hard, but with a House full of Griffith girls and spirit, you feel like you can make the impossible, possible.” (Year 9 Student) This year has been filled with many remarkable moments and the House has been very supportive of Griffith’s nominated charity, Multiple Sclerosis, with the traditional Lob-a-choc stall and the new Spider stall at Open Day. The first House event for 2007 was the Griffith House Party to welcome the new Year 8 girls. A Year 8 girl reflected that the “redness of Griffith” was astonishing and was a comforting aspect to the beginning of her Grammar experience. In the course of a year, many

support offered by our Head of House, Ms O’Sullivan, and our Year 12 House Group teacher, Mr Wheatley, are greatly appreciated. As a result of the support and enthusiasm of the girls and the teachers together, Griffith has been able to create a stunning, powerful web. We believe that future girls will continue to weave Reggie’s dynamic web, welcoming the new, whilst upholding red traditions and spirit. Hopefully, we have been as much of an inspiration to the current Year 8s as the Year 12s of 2003 were for us. Although the
