Cameron Thompson who is in 8 Kolbe at St Bonaventure’s School in Boleyn Road is seen here modelling their new Basketball away kit with the money from Tomas Augustauskas and Franklin Agu’s Jack Petchey combined award money.

The new kit is a real boost for St Bon’s especially as they became the quadruple National Schools England Basketball champions back in May this year and will now have their very own kit to play in instead of having to borrow a local independent team’s shirts.

Aaron Senior, who is a basketball coach and Head of Year 8 said: “The new shirts look great and having their own shirts will bring the team together and make them feel more professional. They are at the top of their game anyway but I know this will make them look and feel special and ready  to face their opponents.  The students can’t wait for the new season to start to wear them”

Franklin, 14, was given the March Jack Petchey Award and Tomas, 13, the April award for their outstanding team spirit, effort and determination throughout the whole season which contributed to the phenomenal success for St Bons’ basketball.
