Selwyn Exchange - handing over the cup

The College House and Selwyn College (Otago University) Cultural Exchange takes place at the end of the first term. This year, as in the past, it was a close fought battle between the two colleges. The talent and commitment shown by the students was superb. The overall competition was won by Selwyn, which ends a four year wining streak for CH. College House lost to Selwyn in debating and theatre sports but won the instrumental and the choir competitions. The points were then evenly matched before the battle of the bands commenced. And although sadly CH was defeated, we congratulate Selwyn on their win and look forward to next years exchange.
