We are delighted to announce and share the success of one of our Year 12 students outside of the classroom, Rachel Merritt, who after seven years of training, has achieved her black belt in karate.  

Rachel began karate at the age of 10 years old and has competed in many different competitions, including the English championships twice which she successfully won. Rachel has also been teaching karate for three years now. We are very proud of Rachel and her achievements.
