CHRIS MAREE FLOATING TROPHY - HOCKEY

Donated by the parents and players of the 2014 Hockey First Team and is named after the Hockey First Team coach at the time, Chris Maree. It is awarded to the metaphorical soul of the Hockey First Team - the most valuable player, not necessarily in terms of individual on-field displays but to the person that meant the most to the team and each of its members. This person places a particularly high value on being part of St Cyprian’s School’s first XI and will sacrifice her time and energy whenever possible to further the cause of the team or to lighten the load on her teammates. She embodies sacrifice, commitment and caring and it is on account of her influences that her teammates will grow into better versions of themselves, both as hockey players and more importantly as people.

This cup was named after Ms Lyndsay Kable, who was the Physical Education teacher and Head of Sport at our school for 26 years and is still fondly remembered even by old girls from other schools.

The recipient’s contribution is not only within her own sport codes, but also in selfless service to the sporting community through support, leadership, and encouragement whenever possible.

SPIRIT AWARDS IN ACADEMICS, SPORT AND THE ARTS

SPIRIT OF ENDEAVOUR AWARD

The Spirit of Endeavour Award is given to the student in Grade 12 who is considered by the academic staff to have consistently demonstrated an exemplary work ethic across all subjects during 2021. This year the deserved recipient is:

Emily Raine

SPIRIT OF SPORT AWARD

The criteria for this award are that the recipient, in her time as a St Cyprian’s School sportswoman: always showed respect for all match officials and players, including her teammates and opponents; consistently portrayed good sportsmanship qualities both on and off the field, playing fairly and in a positive manner and acting as a good ambassador of our school; was a team player and showed encouragement to her fellow players; and demonstrated a great attitude towards the sport, the competition and its supporters, regardless of whether she was the most skillful player on the field or not. This year’s Head of Sport, Mia Nunez, has through her example inspired many St Cyprian’s sportswomen older and younger than herself and is a worthy recipient of the Spirt of Sport award.

Mia Nuñez

Cultural Awards

Spirit Of The Arts Award

The Spirit of The Arts award is given to the student who is considered by the Music, Art, Design, Ballet and Drama staff to have embodied the creativity, values, and excellence that embody The Arts at our school. Recipients of this award have achieved excellence and have encouraged cross-pollination across two or more Art forms while supporting, motivating, and inspiring their peers.

The Spirit of the Arts award this year is awarded to a student whose spirit, positivity and enthusiasm have impacted the Arts at St Cyprian’s School significantly. In Drama, she has excelled both as an actress and as a stage manager. She formed part of the cast of Chicago and was the recipient of the Best Actress Award in the 2021 House Plays. She is an actively involved musician, leading and playing the clarinet in the Wind Ensemble and singing in the School Choir and Vocal Ensemble. In addition, she is an enthusiastic Design student whose practical project this year focused on the role of women and how women are viewed in society. Truly an embodiment of the Spirit of the Arts.
