The Manu competition returned for the third year, with one Year 13 and one Year 10 student competing from each house. Honor Taylor (Year 10) and Sina Maria Su’a (Year 10) produced the top manus on the day.

All houses also competed in fun relays throughout the day, demonstrating strong house spirit and sportsmanship and contributing to an outstanding day of competition.
