Julius boys love a good book, leading the House Reading competition from start to finish. Somes House has booked the runner-up place on the House Reading podium for the 2nd year running, with Condell’s House holding off Rolleston House in the final chapters of the contest.
Eli Clarkson has topped the overall individual reading list, and again claimed the Somes House book honours. He also took the top spot as a Year 10 in 2023. Guy Boissard has turned the page on his 3rd successive Flower’s House individual title while Thomas Rankin (Julius House) and Harry Blackman (Richards House) have retained their House titles.
