On Monday, the Preps were lucky enough to have a visit from an Olympic gold medalist. Katie Allen won her gold medal playing field hockey for the Australian Hockeyroos in the Sydney 2000 games. She talked to the preps about what winning a gold medal requires (determination, persistence, resilience, team work and being healthy) and her experiences playing hockey. Students were able to touch the gold medal (which was rather heavy) and look at her tools (hockey stick, ball) and her team uniform.
