Top Sports Women and Cultural Performers celebrated
On Wednesday night we celebrated the achievements of Marsden Year 13 students in the sporting and cultural arenas at our Awards Evening.
The 2020 Awards format was different to previous years, and some of our usual awards, including ‘Sportswomen of the Year’, were off the agenda due to the impact of COVID-19 on schedules and fixtures. We did not award Sports or Cultural Colours for students in Years 7 – 12 due to the fact that these awards span different sporting codes and cultural activities, and it would have been very difficult to award them fairly this year when not all students have had equal opportunity to meet the criteria. When these are next awarded in 2021, the qualification time period will span two years (September 2019 to September 2021) and achievement will be recognised with a special 2020 - 2021 award.
The guest speaker was Tina Manker, a world champion rower from Germany. She shared several fantastic insights into her life as a top sportswoman and gave our students some wonderful life advice about taking any opportunity that comes their way.
