Sporting students are the pride of RGS

Sporting students are the pride of RGS

TALENTED sporting students honoured at Ripon Grammar School’s annual Colours awards ceremony have been praised for their sporting commitments and achievements in various fields.

Presented at the end of Year 9, the Lower School Colours awards recognise and celebrate pupils who have shown outstanding dedication to school sport and represented RGS teams for at least two years.

As well as sporting ability, recipients must demonstrate the qualities at the heart of RGS sport, including enthusiasm, reliability, sportsmanship, fair play and respect, while acting as positive role models for their peers.

This year’s awards recognised achievements across three areas - games, swimming and athletics - with many pupils earning colours in more than one discipline.

Particular congratulations go to Phoebe and Ian, who achieved the exceptional distinction of being awarded Colours in all three areas.

The awards celebrate not just sporting performance, but also the commitment, attitude and team spirit that make such an important contribution to school life.

Congratulations to all our recipients on this well-deserved recognition.
