Avondale College was delighted to acknowledge the achievements of our top sports players at the special (socially distanced!) Sports Awards presentation held at school on Friday 5 November.
First on the programme saw the restarting of an old tradition for Avondale College - the presentation of rugby caps to players who have played 20 games or more for the College's 1st XV. They were followed by the presentation of BOT Scholarships to promising young athletes, trophies for summer and winter codes, and then the final special sporting awards.
The event finished with a videoed guest appearance by Avondale College's very own Olympian, weightlifter Kanah Andrews-Nahu, who gave our students an inspirational and encouraging message.
Congratulations to all students, staff and Avcol community champions who received awards at this event!
