WOOLCOCKWARRIORS LILY MORGAN AND LAURA MORTON HOUSE CAPTAINS

swimming the fifty metres butterfly or chanting war cries in the stands, each Woolcockatoo gave 100 per cent to show that Woolcock was a force to be reckoned with. Despite an abundance of assessment, the enthusiasm and spirit of Woolcock powered on through Term III, with delicious pancake and pastry breakfasts to fuel our energy.
