HOUSE FLASH CHALLENGE
House Challenges are fun contests for our Rhetoric School students to compete against one another, which also allows them to earn points for their House. At the end of the year, the House Cup is awarded to the House with the most points.

Last week, each House was given 10 minutes to sketch a symbol representing its house virtue. This was the winning sketch by Emily Lyngaas representing the Dante House! Well done!
