Thank you

Thank you to all coaches, old scholars, parents, teachers and managers for their time and contribution to the Blackfriars Winter Co-Curricular Program. It is through the efforts of all these people that allow students the opportunity to participate in the sport or activities they enjoy to develop a sense of community, learn new skills and strengthen friendships with their peers.
