We are absolutely thrilled to celebrate an incredible milestone reached by one of our very own. Our exceptional international student, Joel Mwaredaga, took to the world stage yesterday to represent his home nation of Nauru in the 400m athletics event at the
2026 Summer Youth Olympics in Dakar, Senegal.
In a phenomenal display of determination, grit, and athletic excellence, Joel pushed through the intense competition to clock a stunning time of 53.67 seconds—officially setting a brand-new Personal Best (PB)!
To compete at an international level requires immense sacrifice, rigorous training, and a resilient mindset. Seeing Joel hit his peak performance on the global stage is a testament to his hard work and the unwavering dedication he brings to his sport.
As a school community, we could not be prouder of Joel. Beyond his fantastic athletic achievements, he represents the spirit of our international student community with humility, passion, and pride. He has inspired us all by proving that with dedication, the sky is the limit.
