Telopea Park School has won both the year 7/8 and 9/10 division of the 2018 ACT Interschool Competition held last week at ANU Sport. Runners-up were Deakin High School (years 7/8) and Lyneham High School (years 9/10), who narrowly lost with 4-5 in the deciding match. The competition saw a great turnout with 35 teams participating this year!
