As in all of the previous years our House is avery energetic one with all its members participating inmany different and exciting events. With each andevery contribution being important we always showour philanthropic spirit and this year we managed tosell tickets for the Radiomarathon and we raised theamount of €2128. This made us feel extremely proud,both of ourselves for managing to convince pupils toparticipate but also of our school which proved to bemade up of compassionate young people. This year’sTrack and Field Events day (sports day) was differentfrom previous years. We competed as Houses and weall showed our team spirit and we made a cheering‘kerkida’ to cheer on our team mates. Another enjoyableHouse activity was when we contributed as ateam with our co-House Captains in Apollo’s StyleVibe event. Also, we organised the House ChristmasTree Competition where our tree was voted as thewinner! Lastly, we are all really looking forward to organizingthe Hidden Talents’ Evening this year. TheHidden Talents’ Evening is Poseidon’s event wherewe show everyone that ‘hidden talents’ are just as importantas anything else and that pupils have a lot tooffer.
