Inter-House Competitions
Inter-House competitions are still just as popular as they ever were. Friendly House rivalry has historically taught students the value of teamwork and how to be gracious in both victory and defeat.
Throughout the academic year students take part in a variety of Inter-House events, competing for the following cups and competitions:
Bunbury Cup - for the House achieving the most commendations
House Trophies - for the boys' and girls' Houses achieving the best effort grade averages across all year groups
Talbot Cup - Drill Competition (boys)
Longmoor Cup - Drill Competition (girls)
Rees-Graham Sport Cup - for the House achieving the highest points tally across all major sports
Headmaster's Cup Sport - all sports competitions (boys)
Headmaster's Cup Sport - all sports competitions (girls)
The Arts Cup - (Debating, Baking, Music, Art and Drama)
The brief was to recreate a famous piece of artwork for this year's Inter-House Art competition and the results were inspired.
First - Khartoum House
Third Place - Buckingham House
Second - Victoria House
With their mash-up of Beyonce, White Stripes, Eurythmics and Spice Girls, China House won the prized Inter-House Music competition in October. The competition is divided into solos and groups with an overall winning House. Windsor House topped the Houses for solo performances. Here is China's cup-winning performance:
