This House Competition Day has been one of the most competitive yet with boys striving to do their best in all the sports offered on the day. With 3 different sports taking place around the ground (along with the side events of swimming and table tennis), boys fought for that glorified first place and a chance at winning the Clarke Shield at the end of the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Comments about House Comp Day:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • \u201cI like house comp day; it\u2019s a bit on the warm side. But overall, it has been chill\u201d \u2013 Kurt Hunter Y7<\/li>\n\n\n\n

              Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Overall, the expectation that previous victors would win again were slashed at the end of the day when Mackay came out on top (congratulations to Mackay), but everyone clearly had a wonderful time with many of the Y7\u2019s taking an active role in their team\u2019s placing and great sportsmanship shown around the grounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
