House Music House Music, a dazzling display of talent and teamwork, reverberated with the challenging rendition of Ed Sheeran's Castle on a Hill . Tutor Giselle Pasten, the maestro behind the scenes, orchestrated practices
and stage props while our musicians complemented the boys' singing with unparalleled finesse. The anticipation for the participation of young talents in the following year resonated like a harmonious prelude. REACTION House Plays Festival Theatrical brilliance took centre stage in House Plays, featuring a self-written play born from the collaborative wit of the boys. No staff member was safe in the Hogwarts parody, a true House play where boys from all years embraced roles on and off the stage. The laughter echoed, and Angry Australian became the day's mantra. House Shoot The sunlit expanse of the Richards House shoot on 4 September finessed an extraordinary turnout, a carnival of camaraderie among boys and parents alike. The House Shoot Trophy, generously donated by the King family, became a cherished symbol of unity. Mark and his crew at the Handloaders Club orchestrated the event, with Loraine and Georgia from
our domestic staff adding a magic touch. In a riveting competition, our Deputy Head of House clinched victory and led our team to triumph in the interhouse shoot.
