We came together and achieved second and third place respectively at the Swimming and Athletics carnivals. These results were not on y refle tiv of our House's a ability t of Woolcock's endless determination and the effervescent spirit of this year's group of girls' We welcomed the new Year 8s on their first day and he ca ing natu e of Woolcock gi s in pa icu ar the Year 8 Prefects Elizabeth Ca in ichael and Lucy O'Br'en, e sured hat the younges me in be s of our House we e supported and cared f r.

The remarkable work from the Year I I girls, who rose to the challenge of organising and running the toffee stall on Open Day meant that our chosen charity, the Forde Foundation, received the funds and support they so urgently need to aid abused people in Institutions state-wide. The leadership these girls demonstrated makes for a promising continuation of House unity and strength next year. As he Year 12s reflect on heir years in Woolcock House they have been left with some of the most perfect of memories, special connections and of course many friendships. The support and loyalty of this amazing group of girls has allowed us to achieve all that we possibly could during our final year and our time here at Girls Grammar. We believe that it 's not our achievements that define us as a House, but the way we achieved them. Woolcock House is not just five Year levels of girls, but an intertwined and Inter related group of fun-loving spirited and loyal friends who made 2008 such a great year for Woolcock House. a^^;e'^IZ4 ^&^"'^44^P 8^4"'^4 ^^^ ^@61^"^4m\.^
