Article1 Header Image Last year, we were just one and a half points from retaining the House Trophy for the second year. Very well done to Neuchatel, but beware; we'll be aiming higher than ever this year.

We wish to welcome our year 7's who have already settled in and become completely immersed in the house system, competing in many of the interhouse competitions. Last year they won the year 7 quiz and also won the drama cup for Sorrento, so a big thank you and well done to them.

Mr White and Mr Wallace are entering the competition and are bigging up their chances. Mr White has been overheard saying that the Delphi students are rubbish at FIFA and stand no chance agains the might of the Dane Court PE department. I think that this is our chance to prove him wrong and Evan Williams will get his opportunity in the first round.

All entrants will be paying £1 which is being donated to Delphi's house charity, the Teenage Cancer Trust.

UPDATE: The winner of the tournament was Bryn Llewellyn. Congratulations!!
