Year 12 Spirit Week: Trolleys, Lawn Mowers and a Rainbow Warzone

Spirit Week is always one for the memory books, and our Class of 2025 made sure theirs was legendary. In their official final week of classes, they pulled out all the stops: from outlandish costumes to laughing-induced quizzes, before it all ended in the annual colour and water fight on the oval (where, let’s be honest, no one was truly safe).

Students dressed as what they wanted to be in the future, which was quickly followed by the day they showcased the first letter of their name, meaning we had everything from fairies and footballers to lobsters and jedis. Things escalated with Anything But a School Bag, which turned our SAC breakout areas into a bizarre version of Bunnings. Shopping trolleys rolled past classrooms, Christmas trees wobbled down the stairs, Webber BBQs carried books, and a lawnmower (with the blades removed, thank goodness) doubled as a mobile locker. Occupational health and safety may still be recovering.

Next up was the “Inspiration Day”, where students dressed as their heroes. From the favourite teachers to YouTubers and professional nap-takers, the Futures department has some new job titles to consider.

The Friday saw our 2025 Prefects hand over the reigns to our 2026 Prefects Elect and our 12s awarded their Colours.

The week crescendoed in the annual colour and water fight on the oval, a tradition equal parts joyous and dangerous. The oval transformed into a technicolour battlefield, with students unleashing water balloons, Super Soakers, and colour bombs in a free-for-all that looked like a tie-dye festival collided with a monsoon. Staff were “accidentally” caught in the crossfire (funny how that happens every year).

To our Class of 2025: may your exams, projects, portfolios, and work placements be tackled with the same enthusiasm you brought to Spirit Week. And may your future be every bit as colourful (though hopefully less soggy).
