Dunstan High School (DHS) celebrated its annual sports awards on September 25, honoring student achievements across 11 codes and inducting two athletes into the school's prestigious Hall of Fame.


DHS director of sport Sally Mullally said one of the highlights of the event, which attracted 160 people, was the induction of para-athlete Mac Denniston, who specialises in discus, shotput and javelin, and mountain biker Eddie Adams into the school's hall of fame. 



The evening acknowledged the community support of sport as students thanked their coaches and managers for sharing their sporting expertise and devoting time to coaching and managing the various codes.
