2018

From the Rector

With winter well and truly upon us, the winter codes in full

swing, a successful senior production and the Interschools under way,

a lot is happening for our boys at the moment.

As we begin the winter season, it is timely to encourage our young men

to get involved. There are a huge number of activities for the boys to

get involved in and we believe that a good all-round education

includes participation in co-curricular activities.

There is always a perception that boys’ schools only care about sport. While sport is important to so

many of our young men, the cultural and performing arts side of the school is also strong.

On that note, congratulations to the cast and crew of the senior production, ‘Rock of Ages’. It was yet

another high-quality production and the young men and women involved did a superb job. Well done

to Mr Buick and his team on an outstanding production.

We are indeed fortunate as a school community to have staff and parent helpers willing to commit

themselves to providing so many opportunities for our young men. It is important to have our staff as

coaches and managers and that we continue to develop these whole relationships with the young men

of SBHS. My thanks to all those involved for their commitment.

At this point of the winter season, when we have so many teams involved in competitions, whether they

be local, regional or national, I will make comment about side-line behaviour. We have all,

unfortunately, likely witnessed some appalling behaviour from so-called supporters on the side-lines

who think it their right to abuse the match official or opposition players. This is intolerable and

embarrassing. At school, we discuss our expectations of our teams and our young men and it is

important that these be supported at home and on the side-lines. Always remember the boys are

involved in sport for their enjoyment, not yours.

Please remember the following points: Set an example – applaud good play and good effort. Do not criticise team members or opponents for making a mistake.

Criticism of referees or umpires is unacceptable – officials give freely of their time and effort and do not deserve to be harassed by people on the side-line.

Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities. Do not come on to the field of play; do not enter changing rooms. No parents in halftime

huddles. Recognise the value of coaches and managers who give their time to provide

opportunities for our young men.

At the heart of the matter is that we want our young men playing because they enjoy playing. They do

not want to be embarrassed by the conduct of family members or supporters on the side of the field.

Not everyone will be a national representative; it is important to keep that in mind to provide a

realistic context. It is important to remember also that not all staff members will be the next national

coach and yet some on the side-line think it their right to criticise team selection and offer uninvited

advice; not every referee or umpire will be a professional. We want to encourage all those involved

to stay involved.

We must continue to cherish and support the wide range of opportunities available within our

community and understand what makes a boys’ only school special.

Education is a hot political topic at present and an important review of NCEA is underway, amongst

other areas of reform. Please visit the following link for information on how to ‘have your say’ in this

conversation:

http://www.conversation.education.govt.nz/conversations/ncea-have-your-say/

Mid-year progress reports will be made available to you by the end of the Term and parent teacher interviews will take place early next term. In the meantime I encourage you to stay up to date with your young man’s progress via the parent portal and if you have any questions please make contact with our staff.

The SBHS staff and community wish Mrs Alice Hildebrand (Room 13) and her family our best wishes as she starts her maternity leave this term and looks forward to the birth of her first child. It is a very exciting time Mrs Hildebrand and we all await news, photos and visits.

Kumagaya Koko It is the time again for the biennial visit of our brother school, Kumagaya Koko (Kumagaya Boys’ High School) from Japan. Since 1995, every second year a group of students and teachers from Kumagaya Koko have visited Southland Boys’ High School. The students are aged 15 to 17 years old and have been studying English for three or more years. They are coming to our school to practice the English they have already learnt and to experience life in our kiwi culture. This year the group arrive on Sunday, 22 July [the last day of the Term 2 holiday] and leave on Thursday, 2 August [11 nights]. We are looking for home-stay hosts for these 20 boys during this time.

Senior Production - Rock of Ages The crowd has gone home, the smoke has cleared, and the band has packed up their guitar leads and

drumsticks. This year’s Senior Production Rock of Ages proved to be a huge hit with both the cast and audiences

alike. Featuring huge rock hits from the 1980s from bands and artists like Journey, Poison, Bon Jovi, Pat

Benatar, REO Speedwagon and Europe, the show provided wall to wall laughs and some exceptional

performances from the following Southland Boys’ High students.

The Senior Theatre Tech class provided support for the show as stage crew, sound and lighting technicians.

This was an important part of several assessment standards that require practical involvement in actual

performances. Particular thanks must go to our choreographer Mrs Boyce, our stage manager Mrs Petelo and

out wardrobe coordinator Miss McSoriley who volunteered hours and hours of their time to help make the

show the success that it was.

On Friday 15th June, Southland Boys’ High band Oddball performed at the Southland

Finals of the Smokefree RockQuest at CentreStage. The three-piece band performed two songs, Red Sunrise

and Capable, which band members Jared Gilbertson, Sam Grant and Reagan Lang wrote. Oddball got the

crowd pumped up and on their feet with their high energy performance, and gained 3rd place in the Band section

for their efforts. Follow their musical journey on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Oddball-Band-

Momentum - The Big Sing The Senior Choir, Momentum, performed at the Southland Regional heats of the New Zealand Choral

Federation’s Big Sing Competition on the evening of Tuesday 19th June at First Church. Featuring students from

years 8-13, and a wide range of sporting and cultural interests, Momentum had been working towards this

event since the beginning of the year.

Choirs sing repertoire from three categories – ‘Art’ Music, New Zealand/Pasifika Music, and an own selection.

Momentum sang Set Me As A Seal Upon Your Heart, New Zealand (which was written by past SBHS Music

teacher Kennedy Black), and Tell My Father.

The adjudicator, Mark Dorrell, was very complimentary about Momentum’s efforts, and awarded them a

Commended award. Perhaps more rewarding though has been the feedback from the audience, who clearly

appreciated the strength of our young men, and were moved to tears by Tell My Father.

Debating, Speechmakers and Shakespeare March was a hectic month for students on the spoken word. It all began with our Annual SHAKESPEARE DAY

on 8 March and concluded with the Otago University Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival on 28 March.

On Shakespeare Day a colourful group of students and teachers. dressed in Elizabethan garb, walked along

Herbert Street to the school. Elliott Warrender won the cup for the Best Costume. He was dressed as an

imposing Roman Centurion, complete with the correct footwear! The Monologue was won by the duet of Sam

White and Joel Morgan. They gave us a stirring rendition of Henry V’s famous speech.

On 15 March Isaac Myron and Kapila Tohiariki competed in the Rotary Speech Competitions.

Unfortunately, Will Scully became ill and could not compete in the Competition. Kapila was selected for the

next round, but was not chosen to go on. His speech was excellent and received spontaneous and prolonged

applause. Well done, Kapila.

At the same time the students were practising for the Russell McVeigh Debating Championship held in Dunedin

on 17/18 March. Two teams from our school competed. The Senior Team was Isaac Myron, Kapila Tohiariki and

Will Scully. The second team was Jerad Gilbertson, Joel Morgan and Sam White. Both teams performed well

and won several debates. Will Scully was awarded Best Speaker for three of his debates and Jared Gilberston

and Joel Morgan were awarded Best Speaker for one of their debates.

With 10 days to go, it was a tremendous effort to finalise our entry for the Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival. A

delightful cast gave a fine performance of the casket scene from THE MERCHANT OF VENICE: Carl Rodmell,

Tane Froude, Caleb McKenzie and Kaea Edwin with two students from Southland Girls High School, Joey

Sheppard and Serena Lam. Well done, to these young Thespians. By Mrs G Johnson

Connected Curriculum trip to Riverton Year 7 Classes I felt the vibration of the bus as it

rumbled along the road.

I heard the birds singing their songs as

we walked through Long Hilly.

I saw deep, steep and thick bush as we walked.

I wondered if there was any more gold left in the mines.

The Hill/based on the trip to Riverton at Long Hilly

I'm running concentrated on how life would have been back the for

the Chinese gold miners not realizing that I'm starting to slip which

turns into sliding and now sinking, I gain control once again I must

keep going my legs are screaming, my brain is whirling, my lungs

crying... but then I see it, no not the bus but the monster of monsters

though I know I made a vow to never stop tell I get back I have a

feeling of giving up come over me for a split second but then I think

who am I? What would my promise be worth if I did stop? So I dig

deep for that extra energy and pound up the hill I reach the sharp

teeth of a monster my legs are going to give way! Though then I get

over the crest of it's horrible nose, five more meters I take one step

after another jabbing into the monsters forehead then I see over the

top, the bus! I have bet the hill, a big sense of achievement comes

over me I did it! By Nathan Auld

Finally Mr. Blakie lets us run back to the bus.

I feel the crusty leaves brush across my face.

I see the bus get closer and closer.

I hear feet stamping along the muddy ground.

I wonder if anyone else's legs ache like mine By Hunter Leader

Defence Force Visit On Friday 6th April, we had a visit from the New Zealand Defence Force Seasprite helicopter and No. 6 Squadron. Even in the pouring rain it was an impressive sight to see the helicopter landing on our field. Many students also had the opportunity to talk to the crew and NZDF Recruiter SSGT Jacob Bingley.

Division 2 SISS Softball Tournament In week 8 of Term One our senior softball team departed for Ashburton to compete in the South Island Secondary Schools’ Division 2 Softball Championships. The boys had trained hard and were ready to

put in their best effort in at the tournament. The first day the boys had Dunstan High School up first and they

were out to make their mark. Starting slowly in the game the boys woke up and put bat to ball with a strong

hitting performance leading to a 14-0 win. Next up they had Ashburton College, the team started strong and

carried on a dominant performance throughout the game winning 19-0. On the second day the boys were

excited as they were coming up against strong opposition of St Thomas of Canterbury, the game was hard-

fought with scores being locked at 0-0 going into the 6th inning. The boys kept focus and senior boys led the way

scoring important runs to end the game with a 7-0 victory. They then went on to face Timaru Boys’ with another

dominant performance and younger players stepping up to take the team to a 15-0 win. The third day was seen

to be the hardest day of their tournament with possibly having 3 games in unpredictable weather. Up first they

had Rolleston College where the boys were in great form and went to work early getting out to a final score of

15-0. Burnside was the second game of the day where the boys were looking for another strong performance

to set up for what would be their last game of the tournament due to the cancellation of the last day. The boys

led early and came out with a 16-1 win. The third and final game was a playoff as the winners of this game would

progress through to the final and the loser having to play off for a spot the next morning. In challenging

conditions, the team knew they had to do the basics right to secure themselves a spot in the final. Once again,

they showed a strong hitting performance with everyone showing their skills to send the team into a 13-2 win

and the South Island Division 2 champions. The team would like to thank Coach Jim Affleck and Manager Jason

Te Huia for all of their hard work prior to and during the tournament and Miss Tull for all of her hard work behind

the scenes.

CRICKET Ken Singleton Congratulations to Ken Singleton on his century for the SBHS 2nd XI vs Metro. Chasing a decent total of 225 set by Metro, Ken decided to take matters into his own hands and scored 110 runs off 78 balls. This included 18 fours and 2 sixes. A fantastic match winning innings!

Ken Singleton Aaron Hart

Aaron Hart Aaron Hart scored 91 not out against Appleby on 24 February. Not a bad innings from a 13 year old. These types of performances, along with great team spirit have ensured that SBHS 2nd XI has finished in top position in the PGG Wrightson Championship, Division 2.

Shirley Boys’ Cricket Inter-School 2018 The SBHS 1st XI travelled to Christchurch on Saturday 10th February to play against The Willows Cricket Club and Shirley Boys’ High School. Unfortunately, the match at The Willows was called off early Sunday morning due to rain. This annual match is a real season highlight and it was a shame that we couldn't get any play. Mike Dorme from The Willows was just as disappointed as we were with the cancellation. Our focus then turned to our annual inter-school with Shirley Boys’. Overnight rain meant a delay to the start of the match, with SBHS captain Sean Withy winning the toss and bowling on an interesting wicket. There were some wet spots on the wicket and the ball seamed, took off at times and also kept low as the match progressed. It made batting tough and batsmen had to fight for every run. Shirley scored 153 in their first innings with our bowling figures: Sean Withy 3 for 35 off 14.4 overs Blair McKenzie 2 for 29 off 9 Hayden Hart 1 for 29 off 24 Jed Mockford 2 for 17 off 14 Jordan Tooby 0 for 9 off 5 Alec Mathieson 1 for 14 off 8 Batting in our first innings we struggled through to 137 runs with Clark Sutherland 24, Benji Culhane 24, Ken

Singleton 22, Hayden Hart 21 and Sean Withy 19, the best of the batsmen. Lots of starts, but nobody got the big

score we needed to build a decent lead. We went into Shirley Boy’s second innings with real determination and

bowled them out for 109 runs, giving them a lead of 126 runs. Star of the show was Hayden Hart with figures of

6-23 off 21 overs. This was a great spell and will mean that Hayden gets on the cricket honours board at school.

Blair (2), Sean and Jed (1) also took wickets. Chasing the 126 to win was going to be tough on a wicket that was

still playing tricks. At 53 for 6 the chase was not looking great. Shirley bowled extremely well and it took a great

partnership from Benji Culhane (36) and Blake Harper (31) to get as close. Clark, Blair and Jed all did their bit

at the end and it came down to Blair McKenzie hitting a four straight down the ground off the second last ball to

give us the win. After feeling like we were behind the whole match, this was a brilliant effort by a relatively

young side. I believe there is a lot of character

young side. I believe there is a lot of character in the side and they will only get better with time. Sean Withy captained the side very well and looks to lead from the front. Well done to Harty for getting on the honours board and all the boys for their fight and determination and we look forward to our next inter-school with an experienced Kings side. Ian Mockford SBHS Cricket

Interschool King’s High School Cricket The Southland Boys 1st XI cricket team travelled to Dunedin to play Kings’ High School 1st XI on the 18th and 19th February in our annual inter-school match. Leaving school at 7am on the Sunday, we travelled up to a long first day with playing hours from 10.30am to 7pm. Losing the toss we were sent in on a wicket that was heavily grassed, but provided reasonable pace and bounce. Blake Harper (57) and captain Sean Withy (59) provided the backbone of our first inning of 163 runs. Blake was the epitome of patience and his 57 runs came from 190 balls. This sort of determination and hard graft has been a dying art and Blake was brilliant in defence and showed the younger players how to do it. Sean was more of an attacking threat with his runs coming off 96 balls. In reply Kings were 115/3 at the end of the day and in a good position. Our bowling figures were as follows: Sean Withy 1 - 23 off 11 overs Alec Mathieson 0 - 5 off 3 Blair McKenzie 0 - 16 off 6 Hayden Hart 2 - 19 off 15 Jed Mockford 0 - 28 off 9 Blake Harper 0 - 18 off 7 The next morning saw rain and the chances of play looked poor. Both teams were positive though and the game started in wet underfoot conditions at 12.30pm, with 3 hours play possible. Kings declared overnight to get the match moving and we went into our 2nd innings trying to set them a target to chase in their 2nd innings. Hayden Hart with 31 runs was the only batsman to get going in damp conditions and lots of fielders around the bat. With our 1st innings lead we were able to set Kings a target of 119 in approximately 26 overs for the outright win. Kings put on 47 runs for their 1st wicket and things were looking difficult for us at this stage. Slowly, but surely we started taking wickets and the match became tight, eventually coming down to the last over where Kings needed 11 runs and we needed 2 wickets. We took one of these wickets and they ended up short by 7 runs for a very exciting draw! The bowling effort in the 2nd innings was: Sean Withy 3 - 33 off 10 overs Blair McKenzie 1 - 16 off 3 Hayden Hart 1 - 21 off 4 Jed Mockford 2 - 17 off 7

19

Blake Harper 1 - 16 off 3 Another inter-school and another nail biting finish! Thanks to the Kings’ coaches, staff and parents for billeting our boys and providing fantastic lunches, afternoon tea and support over the two days. By Ian Mockford

1st XI Cricket Recently the SBHS 1st XI cricket team took part in the 1st XI Cup tournament in Dunedin, which involved the top 6 1st XI's in Otago and Southland playing a 3 day tournament. Our team was seeded 3rd for the tournament, based on last season’s results. We played Wakatipu High School in our first match of the tournament. Wakatipu had qualified through a T20 tournament and came in as the 6th qualifier. We had played them earlier in the season in Queenstown and they were a tough side, who were strengthened by the inclusion of two Otago age group players. Captain Sean Withy won the toss and sent Wakatipu in on a slightly damp surface. Sean took three quick wickets to have them in trouble 4 runs for 3 wickets. This slide continued as Wakatipu ended all out for 52 runs in 28 overs. Bowling figures for our side were: Sean Withy 6 overs 3 for 11 Hayden Hart 10 overs 2 for 11 Jed Mockford 8 overs 1 for 19 Alec Mathieson 3.5 overs 4 for 11 This represented an excellent bowling return with all boys performing. The bowling of Alec was exceptional as he finished the innings by bowling full and straight and he relied on seam movement to get players out. Our batting has been our achilles heel this season and we needed to start well on a difficult wicket. Ken Singleton got us off to a great start scoring 20 off 19 balls, but when he fell we began to lose wickets at regular intervals. Benji Culhane steadied the ship with 14 not out and we reached the total 6 wickets down. So objective number 1 was achieved, moving into the semi-finals. I did feel for Wakatipu who had played well to qualify for the Top 6, only to bat poorly in their first match. They are a good side though and defeated Waitaki Boys’ in the 5th vs 6th match and Wakatipu automatically qualify for next season’s Top 6. Our semi-final match saw us play John McGlashan College who were the 2nd seeds. We had lost to them at last year’s tournament, so it was going to be a close match. Bowling first we bowled them out for 93 runs, with Alec Mathieson again taking 4 wickets. Our batting looked a little shaky in the chase, but Benji Culhane and young Aaron Hart settled things down to have us on track. A hat-trick from John McGlashan once again raised the stress levels and it was up to Hayden Hart and Jed Mockford to see us home in a very tense finish. Hayden used his experience to hit the right balls to the boundary. Making the final was a great achievement for this young group and win or lose I was proud of what the boys had achieved throughout the

20

season. Playing Kings’ in the final we again bowled well, but Kings batted sensibly to get through to 225. The rain then fell and we hoped that whatever happened would benefit our side. Unfortunately this wasn't the case and we had to try to chase down 187 in 32 overs. Captain Sean Withy got a solid 35, but the team struggled to hit the ball to the big boundaries on the wet outfield and Kings’ deserved the win. Our side has now gone 4th, 3rd and 2nd in the tournament, so I am sure the boys can go one step further next season. We have had a great season overall. We won the Queenstown U17 tournament, competed really well in senior club cricket, the 2nd XI won the Combined Country Div 2, we beat Shirley Boys’ and drew with Kings’ and Otago Boys’ in the inter-schools and then finished 2nd in the Top 6. Can I please thank all the parents that have supported and worked with the teams and our coaches over the season. Special mention for Simon Culhane, who has been brilliant with the 2nd XI all season and Jason Domigan and Hamish Skelt for working and playing with the 1st XI. Shaun Fitzgibbon has lead the Year 7/8 cricket at school and spent many hours coaching and officiating over the season and this work provides the boys who progress up through the teams at school. Without all these people we wouldn't have cricket in the school, so thank you for your commitment to cricket. By Ian Mockford

Australian under-19 series in Australia's capital. Josh, 17, won the under-20 boys' section at the

championships, with small margins separating the first four. Josh made the NZ U19 Cross Country which will

School Competition. Team members were Ryan Taylor (Captain), Clark Sutherland, Elliot Warrender, Joshua

Davies, Thomas Clark, Harry Taylor, Kruz Carter, Kapila Tohiariki, Thomas Wilcox, Jared Holland, Sam Clark,

Jordy Smith, Josh Murrell, Sam Hartmann, Malakhai Kahukura and Kaea Nikora-Balloch.

Results

Kings’ High draw 7-7 Nelson College loss 4-5

Shirley Boys’ win 7-2 St Andrews College win 8-4

At the end of day one the team was placed second in our pool and were playing Otago Boys’ in a semi-final on

Sunday. We lost this game 7-8. The boys put in a big fight, but we run out of time. Top try scorer was Jared

Holland over the 5 games the team played. Over the tournament the boys played well and did the school proud

with their efforts and game etiquette. This meant that the end result was 4th in the South Island, meaning that

we have qualified to attend the National Tournament in Auckland at the end of the year. A big thank you to Wi-

Richie Tohiariki for coaching the team and to the parents for their support.

Sport Term 2

Southland Boys’ High School Rugby Club My name is Bryce Morgan and I am the new Rugby Administrator for Boys’ High. I have a passion for rugby,

playing it throughout my school life and now for Marist. I look forward to the challenge of taking on this new

role and meeting many new people along the way. The new season has come around quickly, with the 1st XV

starting this term and looking to go to the national top 4 for the third year in a row. The 2nd XV have had a couple

of pre-season games and are shaping nicely. The rest of the teams officially kicked off Saturday 5th May (duck

shooting). One of my goals is to use Facebook to get information to parents and players move quickly. Please

‘like’ and follow our page to get draws, news, player profiles and team information. Click this link here to find it

https://www.facebook.com/southlandboysrugby/?ref=bookmarks If you are not opening this online, search

for ‘Southland Boys High School Rugby’ in Facebook and like it that way. Please make sure the players and

parents/caregivers both’ like’ it. For rugby matters you can contact me via email at

Cycling Mitchel Fitzsimons was selected to ride in the New Zealand under 17 cycling team to compete in the Canberra Junior Tour. Mitchel, Navarh Brotherson and Corbin Strong had a very busy school holiday competing at the Age Group Road Nationals in Masterton. Mitchel came away with a Silver Medal in the Road Race and Navarh placed 14th in a very strong field of 48. Congratulations to Navarh as he was selected for the New Zealand under 17 cycling team.

Navarh Brotherston On 19 May our team of 12 travelled west bound for Goulburn, Australia to represent New Zealand in the Goulburn Junior Tour from the 21st-23rd of May. The tour consisted of four stages of which two were individual time trials and two were Road Races. Overall the racing was an awesome opportunity and learning curve to be part of. This was my first time racing overseas as a part of a New Zealand team environment. The racing was very hard and competitive which left me 9th overall out of 42 riders. This experience has helped me develop as an athlete, on and off the bike. The event I am working towards currently is the Oceania track cycling games in October in Adelaide, Australia.

Archery Congratulations to Sam White, Tommy Dobbins & George Naylor who recently finished 5th in the NZ Team

Open Compound Bow. Badminton Congratulations to our two badminton teams who competed at the Southland Secondary Schools’ Badminton

Champs held recently. Our team Jamie Connell, Luke Connell, Vega Mukri and Caleb Young finishing 2nd in the

1st Division and Brad Erskine, Solomon Lewis, Alec Mathieson and Jed Mockford finished 3rd in the 2nd Division.

Mountain Biking Southland Mountain Bike Club held an endurance race recently. Two teams competed in this, U15 team consisted of Jesse Willis finishing 2nd and the other U15 team from SBHS of Sam Cox and Nic Todd finished 3rd. Josh Burnett rode in the 4 hour solo race and finished 2nd overall, and first in the U19. Reuben Heslip also competed in the U19 8 hour team event and finished 3rd.

Otago/Southland Secondary Schools’ Chess Team Championship 2018 On 16 June, the Southland Boys’ High School Chess Team consisting of Atlas Kerr, Dylan Lee, Jimmy-Lee

Wilson and Shannon Kerr travelled to John McGlashan College in Dunedin to take part in the 14th Annual

Otago/Southland Secondary School Teams Chess Championship.

Last year was their first year of ever competing in this event, when they finished 10th with a score of 10.5

points out of 28.

29

This year, with only one of the four team members having played in the event before, they performed

exceptionally well. They witnessed a big improvement and finished 5th out of the 14 teams, with a score of 17.5

points out of the 28 points available (an impressive 67% improvement in their points total, from last year).

SBHS were just half a point behind the 3rd and 4th placed teams, of Logan Park (1) and Kavanagh College, and

finished 2 points behind the 2nd placed team, James Hargest College.

SBHS did extremely well, considering many of the schools taking part have long established chess

programmes and chess tutors at their schools, and were taking part for, in some cases, the 14th straight year.

Otago Boys’ High were the defending champions, having won the event for seven straight titles.

Southland Boys’ High School has a large number of boys who play Chess in the school Library at intervals and

lunchtimes. A number of these boys also joined the Friday night chess, organised by the Invercargill Chess

Club.

Round the Park 2018 – Year 9-13 Good weather meant a good turnout for the Round the Park Competition for 2018. Having all Year 9 student’s

complete the course also meant a larger group in the more social Cross Country section. Well over 250

students’ completed the course and had the opportunity to qualify for the Southland Cross Country Champs, as

well as gaining points for their House.

There were some great individual times; a notable effort was Jaxon Taylor completing the senior course (approx. 4.4km) in a time of 15.21, closely followed by Buddy Joe Small.

Well done to all participants for completing either the senior or the junior course and for improving

30

their fitness, and gaining points for their House. Coldstream make it about 15 years in a row with another convincing team effort.
