Inter-House Volleyball and Track and Field

Inter-House competitions have been a vital part of the Shawnigan experience since the School’s founding. Early in the school year, they help students build new friendships and rekindle old ones, while at the same time renewing long-standing rivalries between Houses, all serving to boost overall school spirit.
 
This year kicked off with big inter-House events on back-to-back weekends, with volleyball on Sept. 11 and track and field on Sept. 18. Students suited up in their House colours and supported their teammates exuberantly throughout the lively competitions.
Lonsdale’s finished first among the boys Houses in both competitions, besting second-place Ripley’s in volleyball and Duxbury in track and field. Among girls’ houses, Kaye’s finished first in volleyball ahead of second-place Strathcona, and Renfrew placed first in track, with Strathcona again taking second spot.
 
The weather was beautiful for both inter-House events, which were well organized and went off without a hitch. Many thanks to the staff and students who stepped up to make the events run smoothy, and to the parents who came out to cheer for the athletes and support the Houses.
