Hi All, 

Welcome back to this week's leadership lounge written by your Gallagher House Captains Izabelle and Ed.

The highlight of this week is some of our year 11 and 12 students off to Cambodia. After an early 2am start on Sunday, they have already visited bomb sniffing rats, traditional Cambodian cooking lessons, the circus and donated old laptops and clothing thanks to Young Lions Soccer Club to village communities. We can’t wait to hear even more amazing stories after they return on Tuesday next week. 

The year 7s have kept busy during the breaks over the past couple of weeks eagerly participating in a handball competition. Congratulations to Harlee Cartwright taking out last weeks competition. 

Congratulations to everyone who performed at Hennessy's annual Variety Night. Performances were amazing and all participants should be proud of themselves for their dedication and enthusiasm. We thank Mrs Riordan for her time and consistent effort that goes into organising events like this. 

In footy news, our Opens girls league were successful at the Rachel Pearson shield winning the day and progressing to the next stage held in September. The Open Boys league also had a great day, however falling short in the Grand final.

Our boys and girls rugby union teams also had a great day playing at Canberra last week. We thank Mrs Dunk, Mr Croese, Mrs McInerney, Miss Coffee, Mrs Cass and Mr Prindable for organising these amazing opportunities.

Thank you for reading this week's leadership lounge!

We wish everyone a great holiday!
