The Junior School Inter-House Competition was held last Friday after school, and each of the five Houses fielded six players in their head-to-head clashes. Laver won the Championship for the second year running, in an evening that was once again great fun to be a part of.

In the end, the Laver team – Eason Wang, Kenny Ming, Raphael Atia, Aadi Rai, Jack Walker, James Hartley and Liam Hartley – won by a comfortable margin, defeating other teams in all matches. Second was Franklin and third place went to Andrews. Final team scores (two points for a win and 1 for a tie):
