House Captains

Over the last few weeks, our Year 10 students have had the opportunity to apply for a position as one of our 2023 House Captains. We had an impressive amount of interest and students were invited to attend interviews, based on their applications. All of our applicants did a commendable job and presented themselves in a manner they should all be proud of. Our final step in the House Captain selection process will see our candidates give it their best at our Athletics Carnival on the last day of this term. They have this opportunity to show us the sort of House Captain they can be. We are very excited to see them in action and encouraging our students to get in to the House SPIRIT!

Our House Captains will be announced at our first whole school assembly in Term 3.

House SPIRIT

As we work to select our 2023 House Captains, we are also doing lots of work to get our Foxwell House SPIRIT up and running. House SPIRIT is an integral part of building a stronger sense of community amongst our students. It provides our students with the opportunity to work as a team and develop stronger connections to students from other year levels, all working together to achieve the same goal – victory for their House.  Next semester will see many opportunities to continue building our House SPIRIT not only at our whole school events, but during break time activities and competitions as well.

Let's go!

Student Leaders

Recently, our student leaders have had the opportunity to be involved in the running and presenting at a handful of our whole school assemblies, including Mrs Amor’s very special Farwell celebrations. Not only have they demonstrated their extremely impressive leadership skills, but have embodied what it means to be proud members of our Foxwell community. Their SPIRIT values have been on display in all aspects of their leadership work this term and we are very excited to see them involved in our Student Council which will re-commence next term. We are looking forward to lots of exciting opportunities for further leadership development that our ambassadors will have next semester.
