Red House had more than their fair share of record-breakers, winning the overall championship after grabbing the House titles in boys' Grade A and Grade C and the girls' Grade B.

Yiu Chun-ming grabbed gold medals in triple jump and the 400 metres, and came second in the long jump, securing him the boys' Grade A individual championship.

It was the first time that Chun-ming has won a title despite a long period of participation in the sports day.

The fifth former was delighted with his win and said it was a good way to end his secondary school life and a memory that he would always treasure.

''I don't know if I will have another chance to take part in the school meet, so I put in extra effort to prepare for it this year and hoped for the best,'' said a jubilant Chun-ming.

The sports lover said he liked playing basketball, volleyball, football and swimming, which ''helps to train my body and boost my confidence''.
