Penryn College recently had their interhouse athletics that proved to be an extremely fun event for all. The event started at 08:00, but due to the rain it was cut short at 14:00. The athletes, however, finished off the events on the following Monday.
The four houses, Kestrel, Kite, Harrier and Goshawk, were energised and sang war cries non-stop, but in the end Kite soared to victory with a points total of 1102. The sought-after spirit trophy went to Kestrel House.
