NSWCCC Blues Awards

Congratulations to Pip Q (Year 9) and Piper Simons (Class of 2023) on receiving awards at the prestigious NSWCCC Blues Awards presentations in December 2023.

Pip was awarded a Bar Award for her achievements in Cross Country. This is an amazing achievement, as she is the youngest student to ever receive this award, after having received a Blue in 2022. Pip had another amazing year in both cross country and athletics, winning NSW and Australian gold medals!

Piper was awarded an ‘Outstanding’ Award. Piper has been awarded every level of NSWCCC Blue award in recent years for the sport of Rugby 7’s. She has represented NSW and Australia on many occasions.
