GIB IT OUR ALL Coinciding with this year’s motto, our goal was to ‘gib it our all’ by coming up with a new war cry. It was difficult but eventually we found a true gladiator sound that reflected our fierce House spirit. Gibson kicked off another memorable year with the legendary House party. Girls from each Year level bonded over games of knights, mounts and cavaliers and speed donut eating, as well as copious amounts of cake and pizza. To dive into House competitions, we started off with Interhouse Swimming in Term 1. We were impressed with everyone’s spirit and discovered gladiators can glide through the pool, winning fifth place overall. Another highlight was our success in Interhouse Choir. After weeks of strenuous preparation under the watchful eye of our talented Choir Captains, Isabel Horsley and Olivia Marsault-Soar, we were awarded second place. At Open Day 2018, Year 11 girls worked tirelessly at the famous Gibson strawberry stall, where we raised an astounding $2400 for our House charity, One Girl. Well done to the Year 11 girls, who demonstrated their potential for leadership positions next year. House Assemblies allowed girls to bond with each other as we played games including dodgeball, Kahoot, Zumba, and trivia. We also ran an inter-year level competition which comprised three rounds of vigorous physical, mental and creative challenges. Congratulations to Year 9, who won the completion. Thank you to Gibson House group teachers, for their support this year, as well as the wonderful Mrs Boltman, Head of House, for being incredibly caring, supportive and organised. And of course, we thank each and every Gibson girl for wearing purple with pride and ‘gibbing’ it their all. Chelsea Collins and Georgia Perry HOUSE CAPTAINS
