It was a joy to celebrate the achievements of our students at our recent Sports and Hoof n Hook Awards Evening.

In 2025, our Sports, Equestrian, and Hoof n Hook programs have enjoyed their best year yet, with students shining on the court, field, and in the arena. Beyond their outstanding performances, our students have demonstrated remarkable growth in Christ-like character — working together as teams, encouraging one another, and living out our RISE values during both training and competition.

We were also delighted to welcome representatives from our 2025 Gold Sponsors, whose generous support has contributed to the success of these programs — including assisting families by subsidising travel for shows and tournaments. A very big thank you to The Optical Superstore Bundaberg, Mortgage Choice Bundaberg, Tim McCollum Synergy Property Specialists, GeoRadar Australia, and Sugarland Animal Hospital.

Congratulations to all our award recipients, including our major award winners:
