2021 SJRC Sport Awards

On Monday, we recognised students who have participated and represented St Joseph's Regional College as individuals or in our various sporting teams over the past year.

Congratulations to all our award recipients.

Sportsperson of the Year

Sportsperson of the year is worked out on a points scale. Each level of representation or achievement is worth more points in the tally – points are only awarded for school pathway sports. The student with the highest tally in each division is declared sportsperson of the year.

Team of the Year

Awarded to the most successful team in 2021.

In a very unusual year, there was definitely a standout team. This team was announced Diocesan Champions after a closely fought final against Xavier Catholic College Skenners Head.

Congratulations to this year's winner, the Open Girls Football (Soccer) Team.

Coaching Staff

It is impossible to run a good sporting program without dedicated staff to coach and take teams to competitions; quite often (because of the size of our Diocese) this means travelling long distances and being away from family overnight. I sincerely thank the 36 staff members who have coached sporting teams this year and therefore made it possible for students to compete.
