COMMUNITY SPIRIT

Mr Leonardo Battaglia and volunteers from the Fathers Group at the Interhouse Cross Country Carnival

Each year, the School’s Parent Support Groups foster a sense of community while providing tangible support at many School events.

During Term 1 2019, the P&F Association, Mothers and Fathers Groups, and Co-curricular Support Groups contributed to the success of a number of School activities.

INTERHOUSE CROSS COUNTRY As is tradition, Term 1 2019 ended with the annual Interhouse Cross Country Carnival, held for the second year at Rangakarra Recreational and Evironmental Education Centre. Girls Grammar spirit was proudly on display as girls encouraged those completing the course, traversing obstacles such as creek crossings and log jumps—making it a true cross country experience. Congratulations to Hirschfeld House on winning the Interhouse Cross Country Trophy for 2019. More than 1000 students and staff, adorned in colourful House attire, completed the course, supported by parents and friends of the School who assisted with food service, marshalling and timing. The Mothers Group provided staff with an abundant spread for morning tea, while the Fathers Group sizzled sausages for hungry students who enjoyed them upon completing their races.

The event would not be possible without the contribution of many in the School community, and in particular the School thanks the P&F Association and Mothers and Fathers Groups for their support.

Mr Gerard Champion; Fathers Group President, Mr Mumtaz Saleem; Mrs Annette Saggers; Mothers Group President, Mrs Julie Norris; Dr Cate Campbell; Mrs Nicola Hill; P&F Association President, Mrs Susan Playford; and Mrs Deborah Henderson
