Pierre de Coubertin Award

Congratulations Sophie Caldwell!!!

On International Olympic Day, Friday the 23rd of June, Sophie headed into the MCG, where she was presented with the prestigious Pierre de Coubertin award.

The Pierre de Coubertin Award is named after the founder of the Modern Olympic Games. The award recognises students who demonstrate academic excellence and sporting prowess whilst exemplifying the Olympic values. In particular, good sportsmanship.
