JHS Shines on the Global Stage: A Stellar Start to 2024

Joey at Gangwon 2024

As the new year unfolds, the global stage is already aglow with the remarkable achievements of JHS students, alumni, and staff. From the Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympics to the FIS Snowboard, Freestyle, and Freeski World Championships in St. Moritz, and the prestigious Tamworth Golden Guitar Awards, our school community's brilliance knows no bounds.

In her first Youth Olympics appearance, Year 10 student Satara Moon showcased remarkable skills in three cross-country skiing events. On January 29th, she secured the 54th position in the Women's Sprint Free Qualification. The following day, in the Women's 7.5km Classic, Satara climbed to the 44th spot. Her final event on February 1st saw her contribute to the Australian team's effort in the Mixed 4 x 5km Relay, finishing a commendable 18th.

Not to be outdone, 2023 JHS graduate Joey Ellis also left an indelible mark, participating in two events. His international experience shone through on January 25th, securing the 13th spot in the Freeski Slopestyle. The Freeski Big Air Qualification Round on January 27th showcased his prowess as he finished in an outstanding 2nd place. The Freeski Big Air Final the next day concluded with Joey achieving an impressive 5th position.

JHS teacher Mr Paul Livissianos demonstrated expertise on the international stage, serving as the Head Judge for the Dual Moguls event at Gangwon. It's a privilege to have such talent within our staff.

Meanwhile, 2020 JCS graduate Josie Baff and 2015 graduate Adam Lambert seized the opportunity to compete in their first world cup event of the year at St Moritz on January 26th. Josie won the small fina, finishing 5th overall in the Women's Snowboard Cross event, and Adam came 13th in the Men’s Snowboard Cross event. Josie and Adam continue to make JHS proud.

Adding to the list of achievements, JCS graduate Brad Cox showcased his musical prowess at the 52nd Toyota Golden Guitar Awards in Tamworth on January 27th. Brad bagged three prestigious Golden Guitars, including Male Artist of the Year, Contemporary Country Album of the Year, and Top Selling Album of the Year.

Our students and staff find success in various arenas, inspiring us all. As we continue to follow their journey, we're reminded that dreams and goals are within reach for the entire JHS community. Here's to an incredible year of achievements!
