NSSAF CELEBRATION OF SCHOOL SPORT

Celebration of School Sport Over: 40,000 student-athletes participate annually in school sport programs throughout the province. Volunteer teacher and community coaches, under the direction of the school Principal, provide leadership in nineteen different sports offered by the NSSAF. To celebrate participation, fair play and service to school sport and to reinforce the significant role interscholastic athletics plays in education, the Federation annually organizes the Celebration of School Sport. This year’s event took place on April 28th at the World Trade and Convention Centre in Halifax with over 680 in attendance. Each member school had the opportunity to select a female and a male student-athlete and a coach – “who exemplify the qualities the NSSAF strives to develop through participation in school sport. They are true examples of good sportspersonship, they demonstrate respect for others and they are our “best” students and coaches”. A representative junior female and male student-athlete, senior female and male student-athlete and a coach were chosen to sit at the head table and speak on behalf of all student-athletes and coaches in attendance. They were presented with certificates during the awards ceremony. Here are your award winners:
