Students receive sports awards
More than 200 guests gathered at Woy Woy Leagues Club earlier this month to celebrate the sports achievements of students from Brisbane Water Secondary College.
The awards ceremony was attended by students and families, staff and sponsors as well as special guest former National Netball representative and Sydney Swifts player Ms Alison Broadbent.
Ms Broadbent entertained the audience with stories of representing Australia through netball, the friendships and support networks made along the way to inspire the young athletes.
Major award winners on the night included Renee Mainwaring who received the Pierre De Cupertain Award, Chelsea Campbell and Tom McParlane who took out the Senior Sports Person Of the Year Award while Junior Sports Person Of the Year went to Brea Singman and Wade Hannell.
Chelsea Campbell also took home this year's Rodney Fowler Award while Team of the Year went to the 50 metre All Age Boys Freestyle Relay team who came second at the NSW CHS Championship earlier this year.
Meanwhile, students who have been selected to represent the state in their chosen sport were announced on the night and included Brea Singman (Touch Football), Tom McParlane (Swimming), Chelsea Campbell (Girls Rugby), Brayden Wiliame (Rugby League), Renee Mainwaring (Cross Country) and Heidi Graham (Mogul Skiing).
