NATABUA High School concluded its inter-house athletics competition with Pluto House announced as the overall champion with 3128 points.

Venus came in second with 3108 points, Jupiter came in third with 3088 and Mars fourth with 3021 points.

Jupiter and Venus were crowned the overall girls division and overall boys division respectively.

Principal Virendra Sharma said this year’s competition was the fiercest compared to previous years.

” I think there is a good balance of strength in our boys and girls this time,” Sharma said.

“A few new athletes came to school and have proven themselves by getting unexpected wins.

“The competitiveness was shown in the fact that the boys, girls and overall winners were different houses.

“And for the first time in Natabua, a junior boy – Inoke Nasoqa – received the male athlete award.”
