On Monday 11 February the Stanmore Campus held the first of the two House Competition Days. Boys in each House were placed in to 12 teams of a vertical nature, with approximately 2 boys from each year per team. These teams competed at two of the three activities for the morning sessions; 4-Court Tennis, Softball and Volleyball. The afternoon session gave athletics coaches a chance to view the talent on display with the Houses being rearranged into horizontal years for the sprints, relays, 400m event and the field events of long jump and shot putt.

The day was a huge success with boys of all ages competing together and enjoying the company of new found friends. The seniors showed true leadership by organising their teams, supporting the juniors and assisting the staff in the smooth running of the events. The juniors had great fun and their enthusiasm was not only contagious but a lead for even the most non-sporting of our boys.

The results of the day (not that results are all important, but they do indicate that the activities have actually taken place) had Johnstone House winning with a much improved Le Couteur House Runners-Up and Moulton in third place.

Overall, the day was a huge success and the boys are now looking forward to the winter activities later in the year.
