The match past by all the houses ,Green Yellow, Red and Blue was quite fascinating, colourful and exciting and Green House emerged the winner due to their outstanding parade and displays.”

“The popular aphorism’the extra mile you go in life distinguishes between success and failure was the story of Green House, the overall winner of the 5th Biennial Inter House Sports Competition of Laureatefield Schools with a landslide victory of 23 gold,16 silver and 11bronze medals. It was quite an emotional moment for the Green House students, parents and teachers as they lifted their trophies in the air amidst tears, joy, laughter and celebration as they reminisce on their collective efforts that were not in vain.” He said

In his contribution, the grand patron of Green House, Peter Anosike praised all the participants in the competition and particularly Green House for their wonderful performance.

According to him, in the last inter House Sports, Green House was the first runners up.

His words: “During the last edition where they emerged the first runners up, I was physically present on the field and I told those who were to represent the House that the world has no place for second best. I made them to understand that the world does not remember number two, so in the next edition, they should try to be number one. Even my wife who wanted to run the 100 metres race for the mothers, I told her that she must win because I would not be going home with second best. She ran and came first and from that stand point, the woman who represented Green House for the mothers also came first in this edition. So, I am very proud of Green House that against all odds, they emerged number one in a highly contested event. Against all odds because nobody gave them chance. So I am very proud of them, their teachers and the proprietress.
