This term, RBS hosted its very first inter-house tournament with football as its sport of choice. Our students enjoyed watching and playing this globally beloved sport and were able to showcase their amazing skills on the pitch. On the first day of the tournament, FS1 competed in a goal kick tournament while primary, in stages, competed in matches against their fellow houses. On the second day, FS2 and Secondary students played their various matches throughout the day. It was phenomenal to see the team effort, sportsmanship, skillset, and overall heart our students displayed on the pitch. Students thoroughly enjoyed this friendly competition while being supported by both parents and fellow students. That house spirit carried on at Sports Day later in the year, when students from Nursery to Year 13 competed for their houses. Our student house captains coached each of our teams and supported them to victory. Please find below the winners for each stage and the overall winner of the RBS inter-house football tournament.
