TIGHT-KNIT TIGERS In 2018, each and every Hirschfeld girl shined bright in the ‘galaxy of golden stars’, for a year full of team spirit, outstanding achievements and an abundance of activities. This year, Hirschfeld girls were encouraged to ‘Add their Slice’ and ‘give everything a go’ which was showcased when we placed first in Interhouse Cross Country and Athletics, and fifth in Interhouse Swimming—clearly tigers are best suited to land! Special thanks must go to our House Sports Captains, Dominique Di Clemente and Amity Jackson, who ensured we were well prepared for the carnivals. Throughout the year, girls who deserved extra recognition for their accomplishments were awarded ‘Star of the Week’, at House Assemblies. Other assembly highlights included Mr Pincott and Dr Taraporewalla’s mindfulness sessions, dodgeball and Year 7 student, Tung Hi Ma’s, origami lesson. The 2018 Hirschfeld House Party, themed ‘Disco’, brought out everyone’s individuality and creativeness for a fun afternoon of activities. We followed tradition with cake, pizza, and the Miss Hirschfeld competition but also introduced new disco-inspired party games. A highlight this year was the infamous Hirschfeld Hot Potato Stall at Open Day 2018 which raised more than $7000 for the Pyjama Foundation, supporting the education of children in foster care. We also decided to branch out and support The Smith Family, by sponsoring a child. All Hirschfeld girls should be proud of the difference we have made to the lives of these children. It has been a privilege to lead such an exceptional House. We sincerely thank all girls, House group teachers and Head of House, Mrs Dabelstein for their ongoing support and passion throughout the year. We will miss the tight-knit ‘tiger’ family but have no doubt this wonderful group of girls will continue to grow and achieve great things. Sally Finch and Isabella Strachan HOUSE CAPTAINS
