Boys Sport Coordinator: Luke Donatini
AIC Boys Sport -TERM 4
We are now at the end of our 2020 St Peters Sporting Year and it would be remiss not to take this opportunity to acknowledge the great work achieved by so many to ensure that Boys Sport in 2020 successfully continued. Though it was extremely challenging at times, we did manage to offer some great sporting opportunities for our students which was terrific to witness.
Firstly, thank you to the boys of St Peters for their unwavering support and participation in St Peters Sport. Gentlemen, you have done your College proud again this year. Congratulations to the graduating students of 2020, your involvement in our sporting program, whilst at St Peters, has left boys sport in such a better place, which we are so grateful for. We now welcome you back as Old Scholars!
To all our Boys Sport specific coordinators, the effort you have all made in 2020 has not gone unnoticed and we are so fortunate to have such wonderful and motivated sports coordinators leading the way to enhance St Peters Boys Sport.
Thank you to the many coaches across all our sports who have given their time and expertise to ensure all our sporting teams were offered the best possible opportunity to succeed on and off the sporting field. This commitment enabled our boys to achieve their goals in a positive, supporting and enjoyable environment.
To the staff of St Peters Sports House and, in particular Mr Shaun Nodwell, without your hard work, positive energy and constant support, St Peters Boys Sport would not have been as successful as it was in 2020. Enthusiasm and passion was always ever present, and we know it was (and is) always for the benefit of our students and the positive development of our College’s sporting program.
Finally, to all the parents, thank you for your backing of St Peters Boys Sport in 2020. Your support, assistance and involvement (Sporting Support Groups), has ensured that the St Peters boys sporting program continued to grow from strength to strength in 2020, despite the many setback we all faced this year.
Congratulations at Thank You – 2020 Sportsman of the Year!
This time of the year also allows us to recognise, celebrate and reflect on the commitment and contribution of so many of our students who are passionate about their sport and their College. We celebrate these achievements by awarding students Bronze, Silver and Gold awards as well as acknowledging our most outstanding individuals in Years 7 to 12 for 2020.
