Tenison House emerged victorious for the third year in a row.
While the other houses pushed Tenison, particularly in the 50-metre events, excellent participation rates in the 25m swim for points section gave them the winning edge.
Rice won the novelties pennant and the under-13 boys; MacKillop took out the under-13 and under-14 girls; and Tenison won the under-14 boys.
The under-13 girls was tremendously close with MacKillop finishing first but just 11.75 points between the four houses.
The outstanding individual performers belonged to Mia Baldock (Rice) who won all under-14 girls’ events, new college recruit Blake Stretton (Rice) who did the same in the under-13 boys, Kane Johnson (Tenison) who won three events in under-14 boys and Grace Campbell (MacKillop) who won two under-13 girls’ events.
