Student Achievements

We have a World Gold Medalist in our midst! Congratulations to Nayte Ackerley (Year 11) who won gold as a part of the Australian Basketball Team at the World Dwarf Games in Germany. Nayte contributed to Australia’s Grand Final win against USA 30-3. What an achievement for this young man and a tribute to his commitment, sportsmanship and passion for basketball. 

 

 

Congratulations to student athlete Xavier Wright (Year 9) who has been selected as a member of the 2023 Tasmanian Institute of Sport Talent ID Squad. Xavier, a talented athlete across a range of sports including football, athletics, surf lifesaving and swimming to name a few, initially participated in the TIS Talent Search Days conducted earlier in the year.
