School House too strong in the 2019 House Amazing Race

Kelvin Cummings —

School house powered through to win the first "Amazing Race" house competition.

Following our initial orienteering house event in 2018 this years competition saw School house come away with the overall win in Johnny Herewini's amendment to the event. The Amazing race still had students racing from location to location, clicking their achievement card, however, this year, each house needed to complete a variety of fun tasks.

Each house divided itself into 4 groups, and raced through the track. Each successful click gave their group a point towards their house. In addition to this, all successfully completed card received further points for being the first teams to complete the course. 

Team results:
