Green House was third place after collecting 25 gold, 26 silver, and 19 bronze medals, while Red House finished fourth with 19 gold, 18 silver, and 19 bronze medals.

The competition began on Thursday with events like Discuss, Javelin, and the 3,000m run at the school grounds while today’s events featured track races, and vertical and horizontal jumps.

Vice Principal Emosi Kuli says that adapting to the new tracks might take some time, but students could adjust before the upcoming zone and Coca-Cola games.

The school now shifts its focus to the Zone meet, with dates yet to be confirmed.
