T
he annual Sports Awards ceremony is a chance to celebrate all the fantastic achievements of our studentathletes in the Secondary School and our year-long Academies. The evening is divided into three sections: Our Junior Awards recognised the Most Valuable Player, Most Improved and Tiger Spirit winners from each seasonal team in the Under 13 and Under 15 age group. Our major awards take place over dinner and we recognise the Junior Sports Boy and Girl of the Year, the Senior Sports Boy and Girl of the Year and the Individual Sports Boy and Girl of the Year. We also recognise the contribution of our student coaches and celebrate outstanding displays of sportsmanship. Additionally, in a new tradition we started in 2017/18, we present Thai flags to all students who have represented Thailand in their sport this year. This part of the evening also includes a speech from two of our departing Seniors. The final part of the evening is the Senior Awards which recognises the Most Valuable Player, Most Improved and Tiger Spirit winners from each seasonal team in the Junior Varsity and Varsity age groups. The Sports Awards evening is also a chance to bid farewell to our Year 13 student-athletes and pay tribute to our wonderful coaches who sacrifice a lot of their personal time to ensure a range of wonderful sporting opportunities
