Inter-house Snapshot

The second half of the year saw our students compete in Inter-house Track and Field, Debating and Esport. Split into two days, Inter-house Track and Field in August was a fun filled yet competitive day out on Hendry Oval for both Juniors and Seniors. Long jump, Vortex, relays, sprints and javelin were just some of the events the boys participated in to try and accumulate as many points for their House. The end of the day saw Fogarty emerge victorious but the race was still on for the Shield.

The Inter-house Debating competition that followed was a battle of intellect where each House was assigned affirmative or negative on a topic each week. Down to the final two, Duggan and Riley, the Houses argued on the topic ‘whether students should have input into the Queensland curriculum’. After a tense debate, Riley were declared winners.

A highlight in the Term 4 calendar is the Inter-house Esport Competition. Tierney Auditorium was filled to the brim to see Barrett House and Riley House battle it out in the final in a game of Rocket League. Ultimately, Barrett House outplayed their opponent and came away with the win.

However, congratulations to the overarching winner of the Br Vic Larkin Shield, Fogarty House.
