The NSWCCC Blue Award is an extremely prestigious award presented to the best two students in each sport across the whole of NSW.

Jorja received her award for the sport of Softball. Jorja is a long serving member of the NSWCCC team and was once again instrumental in the success of the team at the NSW Championships. From here, Jorja was selected as a member of the NSW All Schools team that contested the Pacific School Games held in Adelaide in December last year. Jorja was once again a very dominant member in the team and was recognised for her outstanding talent and dedication by gaining selection in the All Australian Softball team.

Amy received her award for the sport of Australian Football. Amy began her journey by attending the Australian Football trials and being selected in the NSWCCC side. After a strong performance at the NSW championships, Amy was then selected in the NSW All Schools side to contest the National Championships in Perth. Amy was once again outstanding and as a result was named in the 2017 All Australian team.

It should also be noted that Amy was also in contention for the most prestigious award of the night, the Vince Villa Award for the Most Outstanding Female Athlete for 2017. Amy was considered for this award as a result of her gaining selection in three NSW teams (Cross Country, Netball and Australian Football) as well as two Australian teams (Netball and Australian Football). Although unsuccessful on the night, Amy should be extremely proud that she was even in contention for such a prestigious award that is usually only open to senior students.
