Congratulations to the 12 year-level male and female 2021 age champions. In year 7 – Ella Holzigal and Archie Pulham, in year 8 – Jessica Simpson and Benjamin Henninger, in year 9 – Macey Searle and Anthony Sabater, in year 10 – Poppy Taylor and Riley Ferguson, in year 11 – Ella Eade and Mitchell Welsh, and in year 12 – Brook Ferguson and Decklan Dodd.

The champions have signed and added their names to the beautiful leather-bound BSHS Scholastic Almanac, adding to the history of age champions who have gone before them.
