apsley
As you know, Apsley House was the home of the Duke of Wellington - and that's exactly why we
are so special, not because we are named after something so prestigious, but because ‘home’ is
the perfect word to describe Apsley. I believe that 2013 was the year Apsley united as one force.
We came in the top 3 for the sandwich and bread tags collection most terms and also did well
academically, especially in the General Knowledge quizzes. However, our greatest achievement
was the amount of Apsley Warrior spirit we had this year. A home can also be the place
where you grow up and that's exactly what Apsley has done for me. It was through
being a part of Apsley and leading the house that I have grown up, and for that,
I thank you. Aqeelah Idas

cavanagh
This year, Cavanagh truly has reached new
heights. When the current matrics were in
Grade 8, Cavanagh came first for one term.
After five years, we finally got to experience
this feeling again, in the first term this year.
This fine achievement was made possible
through a visible shift in the Cavanagh mindset, a sense of unity and determination and,
most importantly, a pride in the house and in
what it can collectively achieve. Cavanagh
was placed in the top 3 every term, did
extremely well in the sandwiches & bread tag
collection, while the number of Community
Service points raised has been especially
outstanding. It is certain that every Cavanagh
girl has been influenced by the house leaders
and/or by their fellow members, which is an
achievement in itself. 2013 has been such a
memorable year for Cavanagh: it has put us
back on the map, brought out our
competitive side, and set a desire within us to
keep growing and achieving. Thank you to all
in Cavanagh, especially to our tutors, our
matric leaders, and, our inimitable House Coordinator, Mr Fernandez! Carly Katzef
