“As a team I am very confident that the 2015 athletics season will be the best yet for us as a school. Our main focus at this stage is the independent school-athletics championships that will be held on February 28 at Penryn Prep. We would like to thank all of our parents for their continued support all round,” said Ryan McCarthy of Curro. The spirit trophy was won by Acacia.
