Combined Interhouse Athletics 2026 brought the track to life as both the Boys’ and Girls’ schools went head-to-head for their houses. From explosive starts to unstoppable finishes, every race, jump and throw was fuelled by determination, teamwork and pure house spirit.

Records were chased, voices were lost in the cheering, and champions were made — but above all, the pride of each house burned brighter than ever.

The PHG Junior Club worked tirelessly to produce a thoroughly enjoyable classic, Little Women by Matt Buchanan, for their 2026 production. The girls brought to life the story of the ambition, kindness and success of the March sisters as they navigated the challenges of adolescence, family and societal expectations. Well done to the producer, Charity Katsande, for her dedication to ensuring the success of the play.

We are incredibly proud of our boys for the way they represented Peterhouse this past weekend. Across all age groups, the boys showed determination, discipline and a real sense of teamwork — qualities that matter just as much as the results.

It was wonderful to see some outstanding individual performances, alongside strong contributions from every player in each side.

Special mention to:

1st XI – Victor Watama 5/33
U15As – Tanatswa (Dillon) Nyamhuri 106
U15Bs – Murray O’Donoghue 6/34
U14As – Aidan Cloete 119 | Logan Trataris 2/8 | Sam Cloete (combined 8/34)
U14Bs – Hunter Macilwaine 147*

Thank you to all the boys for their commitment to improving their game and for supporting one another throughout. You represented the school with pride and true sportsmanship — well done to everyone involved.
