Fryer Cup

The annual Fryer Cup Music competition was held at the end of Term two and was a little different this year as there were no evening performances with House choirs. Individual and small groups did compete and were judged in their particular competitions. The quality of the performances was extremely high along with the numbers competing. The Jenny Ellison Trophy for overall House Points was won by Freyberg House and the Joyce Hayden Memorial Cup for Most Individual Points was won by Benjamin Berry of Grey House.

Sports

Once again, Students are able to participate in sporting activities. The College has a large number of sports available and teams are entered in local competitions most days of the week. The College will be participating in a Sports Exchange with Dannevirke High School on Tuesday 4th August. Inter-House Swimming and X-Country were also held at the end of Term two.
