House members raised the trophy high above their heads for the second year in a row at Spirit Day on Friday, July 3.
The house accrued 764 points from the swimming carnival, Spirit Day activities and the infamous war cry to take the win.
Speaking of the war cry, that honour went to Hooke in 2020.
The house choreographed a piece complete with dance moves and the Queen 'We Will Rock You' stomp.
Despite winning the war cry, the house finished fourth overall with 648 points.
It was a close call on two fronts for Peel. The house finished second in both the war cry and Spirit Cup standings with 691 points.
Manning was third overall with 659 points.
Spirit Day brought to a close semester one at the school.
Before they departed for school holidays, principal Allison Alliston thanked the students for their cooperation and work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now they get to enjoy a two week break before returning on Tuesday July 21.
Spirit Day was first introduced by former English teacher Toni Fatherley in 2008 following a strong push by students. She returned to help judge the 2020 competition.
Murray has traded Spirit Cup wins with Manning throughout the 2010s, with a Peel win two years ago bucking that trend.
Hooke's 'green army' will hope to turn their war cry win into an overall victory in 2021.
The event is organised annually by the Student Representative Council.
