On Wednesday 23rd September we held our inaugural Year 7 and 8 "Tough Guy" Inter- House Challenge.
The Year 7 and 8 students competed in an obstacle course around the school which included running, agility quick feet, matt jumping, reverse bear crawls, over and under, commando crawling, hurdle jumps, killer hill and a rope climb in an attempt to be crowned the Year 7 and 8 'Tough Guy' Champion! The boys competed in their house colours and costumes and worked as a team to try and get the lowest score possibly for their house to win. To finish the event we had an inter-house Tug of War competition.
A big congratulations to our winners below:
1ST PLACE
Year 7: Sioktame Kali (Aquinas House)
Year 8: Sebastian Smith (Aquinas House)
2ND PLACE
Year 7: Arthur Gabriel (Xavier House)
Year 8: Charlie Newey (Xavier House)
3RD PLACE
