Reigningchampion School House was determined to see off the challengeagain from Crag and Hill Houses. As with the secondary sports day,students came expertly decorated in their house colours of red, greenand blue. The start and finish area had changed from the bandstandarea, to conserve the grassy areas of the gardens. This meant thatstudents would need to sprint, run, jog or maybe crawl uphill tocomplete the race, which may determine whether students wouldgain or miss out on a medal, or, more importantly, the trophy fortheir team.The day began with Years 1, 2 and 3 leading the way in the 1kmfun run. Teachers and parents ran alongside to spur on those withlittle legs , with what may have seemed a marathon to some. Years4, 5 and 6 completed the same 1km loop, although certain studentswent off piste . Nevertheless, all those students who gained a place,regardless of the route they ran, were issued with a medal.to be a lot of blue winners, yet the red and green of Crag and Hillwere still giving their best to wrestle the trophy from School House.Mr Mueller, representing Crag house, stormed home to take theparents race, leaving many students with an image of his footprintsbehind.After all the points were allocated and medals distributed, it wasagain to be School House s year. Secondary house captains LewisChai and Vidushi Bhargava (in the absence of Sashi Chiesa) andprimary house captains Masayuki Sugimoto and Alicia Saxon happilycollected the trophy from Dr Horsfall.Many thanks to all those teachers, parents and students who assisted,supported or took part in this year s event and to Sunquick forsponsoring the drinks.Mr Bossler – Head of Faculty for Physical EducationSecondary students in Years 7, 8 and 9 and Years 10, 11, 12 and13 (plus parents!)ran 3km and 4km respectively.
