Staff vs Prefects Basketball Match

Friday 25th August saw the next installment of the staff vs prefects competition with basketball on line.  There was a great display of skill and effort from both sides, although the staff proved too physical and organised taking the win again.

Otago Rugby vs Southland Rugby Match

It was great to get along to the game last night and support both Otago and Southland in the Stag Match which is always hotly contested and supported well both our School House hostel boys.  Great to see all our hostel old boys and staff invovled as well.
