RICE SUSAN CASS - HOUSE LEADER

THE GOOD SEED HAS GROWN THIS YEAR

It has been an incredibly rewarding year serving as the Rice House Leader at Hennessy, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to lead this vibrant and dynamic community. Participation was truly the key this year, with everyone fully engaged both inside and outside the classroom. Rice House led the way in the House Cup for most of the year, a testament to the dedication and spirit of our students. Our House truly shone in every way, and we are proud to say that we are the most colourful house, taking out the House Colouring Competitions this year! The energy and creativity displayed by our students were fantastic, adding to the vibrant spirit that defines Rice House.

The year kicked off with the lively and energetic Colour Run, where it was fantastic to see so many Rice students participating with great enthusiasm. The turnout was exceptional, and it was heartwarming to witness the joy, camaraderie, and unity among our members during this event. We had so much fun within our Pastoral Care groups, building bonds and encouraging one another to get involved in every activity. Our focus throughout the year remained on creating an environment where every member of Rice House felt included, supported, and valued. We didn’t just aim for participation in events; we sought to cultivate a sense of belonging and pride within our House. The collective effort to make Rice House a place of support and unity is something I am incredibly proud of.
