Sport stars are leading the way

Braidhurst High School pupils showed off their sporty side with an interhouse afternoon last month.

Representatives from the four house groups – Atholl, Lorne, Morven and Rannoch – competed in activities such as football, potted sports, a music quiz and the “minute to win it” mini tournament.

The competition was a close call, however Lorne proved victorious with 40 points.

In second place was Rannoch with 38 points, in third place was Atholl with 30 points and in fourth place was Morven with 26 points.
