House Captains Report

Today 4 boys from BNPS – Xavier, Jimmy from year 6 and Harry and Nathanael - year 5 went to a district tennis tournament. We had to be there at 8.30am and there were lots of schools competing like Beaumaris, Brighton, Sandy, Brighton Beach and More.  

In my first match I lost 6 to 1 but in my second I won 6 to 1. Nathanael from year 5 lost in the quarter finals but Xavier in year 6 lost to Harry from year 5 in the quarter finals and he ended up winning it all, so well done to him.
