On Friday 3 February, students in the Senior School took to HBF Arena for the 2023 Senior School Interhouse Carnival.
There were exceptional displays of competitiveness and class throughout all events. With many personal bests, new records and overall participation at its best. In particular, the participation in the Novelty Events is always exciting to see.
