McAuley’s overall scored was 4,033, followed very closely by Benedict on 4,003, Dominic on 3,825 and Marian on 3,382. Our students are to be commended on the way they have got involved in all things house throughout the year. A special well done and congratulations to the staff and students in our McAuley House.

Due to COVID, there were some restrictions on the types of activities we could run, however, the students didnt let that dampen their spirits.

Throughout the day, the students participated in the CHISHOLM CHAMPIONSHIP (an obstacle course on the field), a Kahoot and a Step Challenge to see... who could get the most steps during the day. A special well done to Tatenda Goora (Year 7), Hunter Cutting (Year 8) and Lockie Quinlan (Year 9) for being our very first CHISHOLM CHAMPIONS, Riley Drinkwater for winning the Kahoot and Jack Swan for winning the Step Challenge. The highlight of the day was definitely the level of participation. Thank you to all our students for being so involved. ACHPER Inc #HPEDay
