Our exceptional student, Dimitri Constantinedes, recently won the prestigious AoC Inspirational Student of the Year award. Rob Elkin from AoC Sport presented the award in recognition of Dimitri's resilience, through his own personal challenges, Dimitri has been a committed leader of the Rugby team and is a true role model to all. 

After suffering an injury, Dimitri was unable to play sport in his first year with us. Regardless, he turned up to every game to support his team, helping in any way he could. After showing such loyalty and dedication, Dimitri was made the Rugby team's captain for year two and, once fully recovered, led his team to many triumphant victories!
