Sports Awards 2025
On Friday evening, we held our annual Sports Awards Night at Ewood Park, the home of Blackburn Rovers.
It was a fine evening of entertainment, food and, most importantly, celebrating the sporting achievements of our students throughout the year.
Upon arrival, students and families were able to walk through the tunnel at Ewood, into the dugouts and looking out over the pitch on what had turned out to be a lovely sunny evening.
After making their way up to the dining suite where the evening was being held, it was time to take to seats and begin the ceremony.
There were some student song and dance performances to begin the entertainment, and Mr Barnett introduced the evening and the order of proceedings.
Either side of handing out the student awards, members of the PE department took to the stage to talk about the sporting success throughout the year, including Director of Sport, Mr Purdy, and Principal, Mr Taylor.
We’d also like to say a big thank you to our guest speaker Mr Josh Quigley for handing out the prizes and for sharing his inspirational story with us!
This was the second time Josh had been a guest speaker at a Westholme event, after having joined us for our Prep and Seniors Prizegiving ceremonies in 2023.
Overall, it was a fantastic evening that celebrated everything to do with sport at Westholme.
Congratulations to all of the students who were involved for their sporting endeavours throughout the year, thank you to all of the parents who came to show their support, and thank you to the PE staff for organising a great event!
