2018 School Magazine

PACK ATTACK The Griffith House motto for 2018 was designed to inspire unison within the House and instil confidence in each girl. As captains, we wanted girls to develop strong friendships and for the School to know that Griffith House was a force to be reckoned with, hence the motto, ‘We are a pack, the redback attack’. A highlight of the year was the Griffith House Party, where girls dressed as their favourite food, as we welcomed Year 7 students and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon celebrating our House pride. Another cherished experience was the ‘Buddy Program’ between Year 7 and Year 12 students. The Year 12 girls thoroughly enjoyed being ‘big sisters’ and helping Year 7 students’ transition into secondary school. Interhouse Swimming was the ‘pack’s’ first opportunity to compete as a House, and boy did we make a splash. Griffith was represented in every race and as a result we placed second overall. Interhouse Athletics was another opportunity for the ‘redbacks’ to display their sporting talents, placing second again. House Assemblies provided girls from all Year levels the opportunity to interact. A highlight was the spirit videos made by Year 12 student, Lily Blucher, which summarised major events in the Griffith calendar. This year has been an amazing year in Griffith House. Thank you to our House group teachers and to Ms O’Sullivan and Ms Perz for your roles as Head of House. We hope that each girl gained an appreciation for themselves, each other and our very special house. Alexandra Ball and Ranee Chu HOUSE CAPTAINS
