Senior School News HOUSE COMPETITIONS By Georgia Ward
It has been an exciting term of House Competitions and whilst excited about my new role as Head of House I am sad to be leaving my role as House Competition Coordinator after such a successful and eventful year of
competitions. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching students compete and try themselves out in sports, arts, and academic competitions throughout the year. I am sure that an array of wonderful competitions lies ahead next year, and students will continue to show leadership, grit, and determination through these events. Term three began with an excellent House Netball competition in which Jais were the overall champions. Throughout lunchtime, students came to cheer on their House in the Sports Hall and watched as Houses fiercely competed in a round robin style tournament. This was closely followed by the House Art competition. Run by Mrs. Michaels and the Art Department, the theme for House Art this year was 'Letters and Words'. A fantastic range of drawing, digital art and collage were created by each House and the final exhibition of works was displayed in House spaces before an overall winner was chosen. The top five pieces of artwork from each House were critiqued and points were given by three judges. The overall winners for this competition were Hafeet for the second year running. Hafeet also played their joker card for this competition so gained double points for the win. House Drama is a highly anticipated event in which students have been working on directing, scripting and acting their own devised piece. The results for House Basketball, House Handball, House Drama and the overall 2022 House champions are due to be announced in the final end of term assembly on the last day of term. I wish all Houses luck in these final competitions and congratulate the winning House on their efforts.
