Student Highlights

Madison Morris Making Strides in Rugby

Madison Morris is making impressive strides in the world of Women's Rugby and Rugby 7's. Madi was recently selected for the Queensland School Sport State U18 Rugby 7's team, showcasing her exceptional skills and dedication to the fast-paced, high-intensity format of the game. In addition to her accomplishments in Rugby 7's, Madi has also earned a spot on the U18 Brisbane City Rugby team, demonstrating her versatility and talent in the traditional 15-a-side format.

Madi's exceptional skill and lightning speed make her a formidable opponent on the field, with the opposition often struggling to catch her. Known for her ability to score tries, she is consistently relied upon by her teammates. Her co-players are always eager to spread the ball out wide, allowing Madi to fly down the sideline and cross the try line with ease. Her dual success in these highly competitive arenas highlights her as a rising star in the sport, with a bright future ahead in both disciplines.

Congratulations Madi for your exceptional talent and great sportsmanship!
