Last week the School celebrated our wonderful year in sport. Congratulations to all award winners for your effort and time that you have put into representing the School across 2017. A number of you have been involved in more than one area, as well as being heavily involved in your own sport outside of school.
The Sport Department appreciates your commitment as well as that of your parents for the efforts they make in ensuring that you are able to attend trainings and get to the various events across the season. The time management and application that you have put into both your sport and academic commitments will hold you in good stead in years to come.
Our guest speaker, Mr Alex Tobin, spoke of the importance of students being able to have a balance in life. Our award winners are a testament to this balance and we wish you well in your sporting endeavours for 2018 and beyond.
Please see below a full list of award winners from the presentation
