The Sports Awards evening was a truly remarkable event that highlighted the spirit, talent, and hard work of our young athletes. It was filled with inspiring moments, as we celebrated the achievements of our students and their dedication to both sport and academics.
A special thank you goes to OAM and Corinda alumni, Natalie Cook, for her enthusiastic support and for sharing her incredible journey with the students. Natalie's story was both motivating and insightful, providing students with a unique perspective on the dedication needed to excel in sports.
We were also thrilled to have Olympian Aly Bull join us, who shared her experiences of balancing a full-time job with her Olympic commitments. Her insights were incredibly inspiring and showed our students what it takes to achieve greatness. Both Nat and Aly emphasized that success comes from dedication and a proactive mindset, encouraging students to “sit up front, ask questions, and give it your all-in class. Do the same at training, and you can achieve anything in sport and life."
