Athletic Colour Awards

It seems just like just yesterday that many of you were learning to play rugby and field hockey for the first time. For a number of you, you have developed athletically in many areas and have found a passion in athletics. So much has happened since those early days in September; as a School we have competed successfully against many other top schools in the Province, in Canada and, in the case of rowing, North America.

We are here today to recognize those senior athletes who have excelled over the past term and who have lead their respective teams in search of excellence. Additionally, we will recognize those junior athletes who have contributed significantly over the year to their teams.

At this point I would like to recognize those people who have worked so hard and sacrificed a tremendous amount so that you would be successful. Please join me in thanking our coaching staff for all the work they do.

Junior School Colours are awarded to students who display strong athletic skills and athleticism, as well as significant leadership and solid sportsmanship. Recipients are in grade 10, and are judged according to their participation over the course of the year.

Senior School Colours are awarded to students who display strong skills and athleticism, as well as significant leadership and solid sportsmanship. Recipients are in grade 12, and generally have at least two years of service to the sport. Having said that, the Headmaster will be presenting some Colours today to athletes who have made tremendous contributions over the past year of their career at Shawnigan.
