Winners

Peter Baker and Gus McCulloch with the JUNIOR HOUSE RUGBY trophy. Both the A and B teams did Everett proud claiming overall victory in a hard fought competition. Peter Baker received praise from the tournament organiser for his captaincy, leading from the front and building a great team spirit.
Not to be outdone the Seniors played really well in the House football competition winning two and drawing two matches and now wait for the final round to see where we will come.
In the end of term assembly Anthony Miarli and Gus both received prizes for being awarded the most Excellence Slips this term. A good end to the term, the whole House deserves the half term break :-)

House Football and House Spirit

I was really impressed with the House spirit and sportsmanship showed today in the first round of the Interhouse football. Two very competitively fought games and loads of support from the sidelines made me proud to be Everett Housemaster. our Junior side fought hard all the way, with strong running, good passing and excellent defence to run out winners 6-5 over Burr. Only a great performance by the Burr goalie prevented more goals, but Alex Sanderson and Max Chandler both got hat tricks. The senior game was end to end stuff, with the lead constantly changing hands. In the end a 3-3 draw was a fair result, Buchan, Maguire and Madden were all involved in the three goals and some excellent defensive work was done by Kelly, the side was brought together well by captain Corke.

Academic excellence

The majority of Everett boys seem to have made a good start to the year, but Year 10 are leading the way with Excellence slips. Special mention must go to Peter Baker and Oran Mehmet who top the league table and both earned four last week alone!
Oran also got a special mention from the Head of English for his entry into the poetry competition - the theme was your House :-
E verett is the best
v igourously beats the rest
e very boy has a hairy chest
r ed is on all our vests
e ndangered pupils need chicken breast
t he prep is also the hardest
t he teachers are also the coolest
