Well done not only to all of the girls who were recipients of awards on the night, but to all of those pupils in attendance who have represented the School’s senior netball and/or hockey teams with such dedication throughout the season.

In addition the event was also attended by the various coaches of each sport, with teachers Mrs McIlvenny, Mrs Kirk, Mrs Hunter, Mrs Waterworth and Miss Knox, as well as fellow coaches and former pupils Amanda Simpson, Rachel Cullen and Claire Todd also present.
