PLC Armidale will host an extraordinary evening featuring Australian Olympic high jump sensation Nicola Olyslagers on Friday, 29 November, at the Armidale Golf Club.
As the only Australian field athlete to win medals at consecutive Olympics, Olyslagers has captured the nation’s imagination. Her remarkable journey includes silver medals at the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympics, and a bronze medal at the 2023 World Athletics Championships.
“Nicola represents the pinnacle of athletic dedication and inspiration,” said Lucy Donaldson, Head of Sport.
“Her story is not just about athletic excellence, but about pursuing dreams with unwavering commitment and understanding one’s potential beyond performance.”
Principal Mrs. Nicola Taylor is excited for the event.
“Thanks to the generosity of our two major sponsors Invest Blue and Roberts Morrow, we are thrilled to provide our community with the opportunity to hear directly from an athlete who has redefined what’s possible in Australian high jumping.” said Mrs Taylor.
The semi-formal event begins at 5:30pm and will include an awards presentation celebrating PLC Armidale student sporting achievements for 2024 and a charity auction supporting PLC Armidale representative athletes.
Tickets available via Humanitix.
