Kristian Hoogenkamp Memorial Match
In 2019, the 成人短片's Class of 2020 faced the heartbreaking loss of a beloved friend and classmate, Kristian Hoogenkamp, who bravely battled a rare form of cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma. To honour Kristian's enduring passion for sports, the 2020 year group initiated a tradition that has since become an annual fixture - the Kristian Hoogenkamp Memorial Match.
After the meticulous selection of teams and dedicated training, they were all set for the eagerly awaited annual Memorial Match last Friday. Luker Kentfield and Sam Busch assumed leadership roles, guiding the Year 12 AFL enthusiasts and aspiring players. With the wind behind them, 'Sam鈥檚 Soldiers' took a 4-goal lead in the first quarter. 'Luker鈥檚 Legends' worked hard to close the gap but with a 6-2 goal last quarter, Sam鈥檚 Soldiers clinched the victory, 77-54. Taj McKenzie took out the Best on Ground Award for his courageous effort to get his team back in it. The game was full of soaring marks, hard-fought tackles and even surprising goals, making it an unforgettable day.
Students, staff and Old Scholars, along with cherished family and friends, turned out in numbers to celebrate Kristian, a dear friend and classmate who will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
