“We were also pleased to have 200 plus students participating in the inter-house meet.

“We had our heats completed at our school grounds on Wednesday and finals at the stadium.

The school coaches have been working on their athletes who have qualified for the Triple N Zone where they face Adi Cakobau School. Nasinu Secondary School and Lelean Memorial School.
