Sports & Cultural Awards Online Evening
On Thursday night we celebrated the achievements of Marsden students in the sporting and cultural arenas at our Awards Evening. Due to COVID-19 restrictions this was an online event, hosted by Cultural Coordinator Sarah Wilson and Director of Sport Eliott Brookes, along with our student leaders: Cultural Captain Anabel Jamieson, Sports Captain Tommi Davie, and deputies Michelle Gu and Jade Otway. We extend a special thank you to these students who delivered wonderful speeches about their involvement with sports and culture during their time at Marsden.

This event covered successes across the 2020 and 2021 period, as last year's awards evening (also impacted by COVID-19) was solely for Year 13 students.
Our guest speaker was Emma Robinson, a Wellington-born swimmer who has competed at both the Commonwealth and Olympic Games. She talked about the grit required to reach her goals and managing the pressure of high performance sport. Emma stressed the importance of having good support and giving your dreams everything you have.
Congratulations to all our award winners and thank you to all of the supporters of our sports and cultural programme.
