The winter Readers’ Cup was held last term and boys in Year 7 and 8 were invited to particpate. Forty five boys created teams and then competed against each other to see which team would be crowned victors.

Despite the age advantage of the Year 8 boys, it was in fact three Year 7 teams who made it through the heats and into the final. In “Team FAB” we had Finn Waugh (Gladesville), Aaron Murrant (Rozelle) and Ben Wilson (East Ryde). In “Team RED” we had Nicholas Rupolo (Concord), Luke Hkeik (Balmain East), and Jackson McNulty (Balmain East). While in “Team FMN” there was Noah Kelly (Allambie Heights), Tom McGregor (Manly Vale) and Fred Maher (Cherrybrook).

The boys had to read four novels and then compete in activities and trivia based on the novels. Therfore they needed to ensure that they had very good knowledge of each of the books.

Congratulations to “Team FMN” who were the winners of the winter cup. As noted by Mrs Linda Roden, one of our teacher librarians, “these boys did an exceptional job in reading and understanding the texts”. They now each walk away with a prize and their name forever enggraved onto the cup!

There is a summer cup as well and entries for this will be sort soon!
