Awarding achievement, effort and contribution in Sport

2017 Sports Awards Breakfast

Another celebration of achievement, effort and contribution was enjoyed last week as we held our 3rd annual Sports Awards Breakfast. Parents, students and staff gathered in the GMR for a continental breakfast before the awards were presented.

Our guest speaker Rowena (Rowie) Webster – Olympic Water polo Medallist, spoke about her path to success. It wasn’t always easy but she never gave up on her dream to become an Olympic Athlete: a dream she’d had since she was 5 years old.  She also spoke about the importance of the balance between school life and physical fitness. It was an honour to have Rowie speak at our breakfast, her pride in representing our Country and her story of the path to success was truly inspirational.

The morning was a celebration of the achievements of our students who have not only showed their sporting skills but are also great leaders in their chosen sports in and out of school. Our Sports Captains should be commended for the morning running so smoothly. We thank them for their confidence and enthusiasm. Anyone in the room would agree that they did a fantastic job.
