BROWN WINS THE 2026 PETER HUNT MEDAL!

The Senior Boys AFL program wrapped up with the presentation of the Peter Hunt Medal which is bestowed to the best and fairest for the Premier League season.

The Peter Hunt Medal commenced in 2016 after a tragic accident in which Peter Hunt passed away during 2015. Peter made a significant impact on the BSSC College Sports Program. From 2010 to 2015, not only was Peter an invaluable match-day helper at football matches, but he also filled various roles such as bus driver, team manager, and undertook numerous responsibilities across a range of sports during that 6-year period. In addition to his amazing support to the college, Peter was also a talented sportsman in local sports.

COCHRANE WINS THE INAUGURAL SHIRLEY WALLIS MEDAL!

The Shirley Wallis Medal is in its inaugural year, the medal will be bestowed annually to the Best and Fairest player for our BSSC Girls Lions AFL Team. The award honours the life and contribution of Shirley Wallis, who tragically passed away in May of 2026.
Shirl first started volunteering with the Senior AFL Teams in 2007 in roles such as Team Manager, Timekeeper, score board operator and managing the uniforms. As you walked into a BSSC game you could hear Shirl barracking and giving advice. She attended, supported and volunteered at both the boys and girls matches from 2007 until 2025. While battling illness, Shirl came to watch the Premier League boys play at Eaglehawk in 2025.
Shirl was a one eyed ‘Borough’ supporter, Timekeeper, Club official and volunteer who always had a community approach to the club and in turn the school too.
