Our performance in the Interhouse Choir might not have been successful in terms of the adjudication, but it was a fantastic experience. The dedication of the House across the weeks of preparation really showed on the day. But once again we proved ourselves a dominant force in the pond, winning the Interhouse Swimming Carnival by over 100 points for the third consecutive year. This victory is a testament to the hard work and dedication of every member of Lilley House, stepping out of their comfort zones to participate in—in our opinions—the most competitive Interhouse event of the year. The dedication of our Year 12 buddies, who took on the challenge of leading the Year 7 students, was particularly noteworthy. It has been amazing to see the senior House Group lead the younger girls and help build stronger inter-year connections (a special mention must go to our incredible House Prefects and Service Captains). On Open Day, our charity stall was a significant highlight. We chose to support Lily House—a charity dedicated to helping young women in need on the Sunshine Coast— selling our signature fudge. In its second year, the sale of ‘sludge’ was also a massive success. Our towel drive conducted earlier in the year was also a resounding success, with every House Group coming together to support Lily House. This initiative underscored our commitment to making a positive impact on our community. What made this year particularly special was the formation of strong connections between students from different year levels. This sense of unity and support across all Year-levels fostered a more inclusive and supportive environment within Lilley. These bonds have strengthened our House and will continue to be a foundation for future success. Scarlett Bennett (12L) and Isabella Kim (12L) HOUSE CAPTAINS

Lilley

Lilley House stands out for its close-knit, competitive, and fun-loving community. This year's motto— Leap, laugh, love Lilley! #TaketheL —encapsulates this spirit perfectly. It emphasises our commitment to providing a supportive environment for every member of the House and enjoying our more spirited moments at Interhouse and Intrahouse competitions. One of the highlights of the year was the House Party, themed ‘Eat Your Greens.’ The vegetable eating competition between each Year-level brought out everyone’s competitive side (shoutout to our winner Maddie Skarott (11L)). This light-hearted competition showcased the unique blend of camaraderie and competitiveness that defines Lilley House.
