HOUSE S

O'CONNOR

YOU’LL ALWAYS FIND UNITY IN THE O’COMMUNITY

T his year’s motto for O’Connor House was ‘You’ll always find unity in the O’Community’. With the aim of fostering unity, we used the annual House party as a way to bond between each Year level. Highlights included the octopus piñatas, brownie wall and balloon arch. When the Interhouse Swimming Carnival arrived, Year 11 and 12 girls made encouraging posters to support our swimmers and we were especially proud of the Year 7 girls for their unmatched enthusiasm.

In Term 2, our amazing House Choir Captains, Sophia Parker and Sana Saleem, led us in our performance of Michael Jackson’s Man in the Mirror . Though it took a while for everyone to find their voices, our House performed with enthusiasm and glee. Special mention to Lily Lau-Coombs (11O) on her amazing solo. In Term 3, we established ‘Tentacle Groups’ to continue our campaign for connectedness and we applied our teamwork skills atourOpenDay stall,wheregirlsworked together to produce the brownies, while

Year 11 girls made posters and decorations as well as manning the stall. The money raised on the night was donated to The Cherish Foundation, our 2019 House Charity. Looking back on this year, we are proud of how unified our O’Connor family has become. We will never forget the memories and bonds that have been forged among our O’Connor sisters and will cherish our experience as House Captains forever. Sarah Taylor and Emilia Weeden HOUSE CAPTAINS
