MCLINTOCK HOUSE REPORT 2011
This year has been one of the most hotly contested years for the house cup that I have been in during my six years at the college. I have been so very proud and priviledged to lead this great house they call the "green machine". I would like to thank the McClintock boys for their hard work and support this year, also many thanks to my fellow year 13's who were always at my side willing to help out, and support. Thank you to mr Richard Washington and Mr Keri Campbell for your own dedication towards seeing that STC sees the best McClintock has to offer.
Unfortunately McClintock finished a very respectable 2nd this year, well done to Alex and the Rice house. I will sorely miss the riské dress at swimming sports or the creative costumes displayed at athletics, the passion and spirit flared at STC day. May the competition never die or fade. I wish Sam and all the boys well next year, may the "green machine" reclaim its glory.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me form an educated heart and mind at St Thomas'

McCLINTOCK - DEAN'S REPORT 2011
It is hard to write a McClintock report as I have only spent half the year at the helm of this great ship. From what I can gather it was another emotional, rollercoaster year for the green machine. Expectations were high and McClintock was targeted as the team to beat. The year was a challenging one, reading and listening for results from the other side of the world. Keri Campbell and James Agnew had a game plan for terms 1 and 2 but the wheels were falling off with earthquakes, snow and constant disruptions. This equated for some mixed results and some interesting decisions from some higher powers. The Boys fought on and after the usual shocking results from swimming, we come back and won athletic sports with some stand out individual performances ... the Elia boys showing they are three very talented brothers.
St Thomas's Day is always a highlight on the calender and a great chance to grab points, which the boys did very well ... extremely good song and haka, thanks to Mr CAMPBELL for helping out there J.
Terms 3 and 4 were a bit quiet with not many house competitions and the tim challenge really saw the end of it were, our poor leader was away when a vital challenge of collecting tin's was introduced a point per tin, RICE congratulations on a huge effort and massive win, nobody could catch you and you finally got your first win since 1963. Thanks to the McClintock leaders and Teachers for keeping faith and fighting to the end, I am excited about 2012 and regaining the trophy, Good Luck to Sam Prendergast and the new leaders of 2012.
