Andrews House Captains book 2019

H ouse E vents The First week of School – what can you do to help? For Andrews, the first day back always involves House Carnival Swimming Trials which you would have had a slight taste of what this will be like in the last day of Year 11. However, we recommend meeting with Ms. Lee and your senior cohort to plan the trials and age managers etc. in order to have a seamless first week. Don’t worry, it gets better! Leadership in PC PC is a great way of getting the House to be a whole. As Captains you should be able to go through all the PCs (not neglecting your own of course) and interact with students of all ages and get to know them. Referring to one of our tips this is a good way to achieve this. Make PC something people look forward to! House Meetings House Meetings are great opportunities to: relay information easily to the entire house, congratulate special achievements, GIVE LION PRIDE AWARDS. For these organisation is key so that involves meetings with Ms. Lee and your fellow house captain and some planning is involved in every meeting. Year 7 Camp This was one of our favourite experiences as House Captains. This will be your first opportunity to get to know to some members of the college that you haven’t previously met. They will adore you so make the most of it! Get involved in every activity they will really appreciate this, try your best to learn names and faces, this also goes a long way! House Chapel This is a somewhat daunting event from experience as it is your first opportunity to represent yourself as a leader of the college and speak in front of an audience made up of students, teachers and parents. You will be fine as long as you prepare appropriately with your fellow house captain and with Ms. Lee. Don’t be scared to make a mistake these are useful to learn from and apply to situations you will face later on in your captaining campaign.
