More news for Secondary School

A strong College team of 14 athletes had some excellent results at the National Secondary Schools' Championships in Hastings at the end of last year. The level of competition was extremely high, and so for our athletes to win seven medals and several top six placings was extremely pleasing. Thanks to House of Travel Merivale for supporting our athletes at this event.

In her final national championships representing St Andrew’s College, Christina Shepherd (Year 13) won gold medals in shot put, discus and javelin. During her time at the College, Christina has won 16 medals at national level, and has been a fantastic member of the athletics team.
