The annual Columba College Sports Awards
Evening was held on Thursday, 22 nd October.
The guest speaker this year was organised by
Sports Prefect, Samantha Edgar. Samantha
approached SPARC (Sport and Recreation
New Zealand) about the possibility of Barbara
Kendall speaking at our annual Sports Awards
Evening. Months of planning later and Barbara
Kendall, Olympic Boardsailing gold medallist,
was the guest speaker. She entertained the
200 strong crowd with tales of her sporting
past and present and left everyone feeling
inspired to “get out of the box” and to “get into
life”.
During the evening a special presentation was
made to Mrs S. Bishop for her contribution to
Columba College Badminton. Other awards
presented were: Year 13 Contribution to Sport,
Coaching awards, Otago A Representative
badges, Promising Junior Athlete Medals,
Team of the Year, Sports Blues and Sports
Personality of the Year award. The Team of
the Year award was won by the Senior A
Waterpolo Team which won the South Island
Title this year. Sports Personality of the Year
was won jointly by Samantha Edgar and
Stephanie Lee.
Thank you to all the parents, students,
coaches, teachers, supporters who attended
the evening and made it such a special
occasion. Also, a special “thank you” to Mr
Cartwright for the fantastic photo clips he put
together, to Mrs Margaret Edgar for supplying
and organising the flowers, to Mrs Rhonda
Skerten for all of her organisation on the day
and to the sports staff for organising another
great event. Congratulations to everyone who
received awards and we anticipate celebrating
another successful sporting year in 2010.
