Malo e lelei and greetings to our School House Hostel community. It has been a quiet week 7 with a number of boys returning from Tournament Week after not having this event for 3 years due to covid implications. This is also after the long weekend with most boys being out of hostel and with their families. Then this week has been a little different with senior academic interviews and juniors off timetable for part of the week.

Man of the Week:

Will Helm
William Helm was a shining star at the back for the 1st XI dominating the 1 on 1s defensively and pulling the strings for the team's attack. Was voted the MVP of the tournament by the team. Well done Will.

Zach Hall

Has been an outstanding helper to his mates and staff around hostel always volunteering to help others with no fuss and an all round good young man. Well done Zach.
