Hot on the heels of the Boys’ and Girls’ School Swimming Finals each year are the House Swimming Relays. Students from both schools combine for the much anticipated, fun afternoon of racing.   

After rain threatened to spoil the party in the morning, the weather eventually played its part and by the end of racing, the sun had popped through the clouds.

This event always draws a fantastic crowd of supporters along to the Boys’ School. Families gathered on the banks along with the students to cheer on the teams.

As the races got underway, cheers and House chants rang out clear across Auckland. Interspersed with the races were House points to be won for the best dance moves - and the parents weren’t shy about joining in! Led off by Girls’ School Principal, Ms Juliet Small and Reverend Reuben Hardie, the YMCA dance-off was won by Cargill on the back of their enthusiastic parent involvement!

After the final senior relay, both teachers and students took to the water for their traditional fun race.

Once the combined points were tallied, Cargill came in first for both the Boys’ and the Girls’ School. Well done to all participants who put in their best effort on the day!
