Vela House

Vela is one of the three constellations that used to form the huge constellation Argo Navis, the ship of Jason and the Argonauts. In 1763 Nicolas Louis de Lacaille divided the Argo Navis into three constellations: Carina (the Keel), Puppis (the Stern), and Vela (the Sail).
In Vela house we discuss our problems to find solutions. We value honesty. We always AIM HIGH!
In Vela House we work together to promote success. A team of dedicated tutors manage the important time spent in House groups every morning. They really enjoy getting to know their tutees throughout their time in Tollbar.
Vela House Celebration of Achievement
This year's assembly was an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the whole of Vela House. Awards were given to individuals and the contribution of House teams was also recognized. Parents of the winners were invited along to share in their sons' and daughters' achievements. Mr Brown (Vice Principal) presented the prizes. One student from each House group is chosen to be a prefect. Each prefect was presented with their badge.
Two special badges were presented to the House Sports Captains. These students will lead the House sports teams in the coming year - Faye Thompson VE5 and Scott Payne VE12.
Endeavour Awards
The special Endeavour awards are given to those students who have tried consistently hard throughout the year. One student is chosen to receive the House Endeavour shield. This year it is awarded to Lauren Martin VE7.
Achievements
Throughout the year Vela students have taken part in all Interhouse competitions and events. This year there were more students than ever participating. As the interest and enthusiasm for the competitions continues to grow, we are sure to succeed.
This year Vela students collected shoe boxes for the Samaritan's Purse Appeal. Some students contributed individual items and others brought complete boxes. There was a huge team effort among the House Groups resulting in the grand total of 102 boxes. Well done to all those who contributed.
