Another connection between past and present students has been created through a new set of sports honour boards in the Gymnasium Precinct. The boards are the 2014 gift to the School from the Old Boys’ Association (OBA).

The series of honour boards includes a history of the School’s PSA premiership wins and the captains of each code dating back as far as 1957.

The gift also includes a decal featuring motivational quotes from three inspirational old boys – super coach Ric Charlesworth, former Olympic swimmer Bill Kirby and world championship rower Todd Skipworth.

The gift, a joint initiative between the OBA and Director of Sport Anthony Lynch, has been well received by the boys. Mr Lynch said the new boards had created real interest and had even given some boys a goal to aim towards.

“Not only do the boys stop and look at the new honour boards but some of them have said ‘my name will be up there soon!’”

President of the OBA Adam Collins said he hoped the boards were a visible connection to the past and the School’s strong sporting culture.
