House Choir Evening

House Choir night is this Friday and the excitement can certainly be felt as you walk around the campus during House Choir rehearsal.

This year will see Eat St continue with more vendors and answering the call including a healthy option! House Choir night starts at 6.30pm with the precinct open from 5pm. For the new members of our community, there are two prizes on offer: the House Choir Cup is awarded from adjudicator votes to the best House. The second is the People’s Choice award – presented to the House who receives the most votes. Votes are given in the form of a monetary donation of one vote = $1. Tensions will be high and reigning champions of both House Choir Cup and People’s Choice, Barrett House will have a lot to live up to!

Food Vendors
