Karate Triumph: Melissa Clinches Student of the Year Trophy 2023

1st February 2024

We are thrilled to announce a significant achievement at Whiteknights. Melissa, a bright and determined Year 4 pupil, has recently been honoured with the prestigious title of "Student of the Year for 2023" in the realm of karate. Melissa attends Su-Ha-Ri Karate club, where her dedication and hard work have propelled her to the coveted status of a Blue Belt after three years of dedicated training.

In a ceremony that celebrated outstanding achievements, Melissa's name resonated with pride as she not only received the "Student of the Year" trophy but also solidified her place as the "Grudge Match Champion". Her dual triumph is a testament to her outstanding skills and sportsmanship.

As we applaud Melissa's success, we also celebrate the diverse talents and accomplishments within our school community. Melissa's achievement is an inspiration to us all, highlighting the incredible heights our pupils can reach when they set their minds to it.

Congratulations, Melissa! We look forward to witnessing your continued success and growth in your karate endeavours.

"As well as winning her Grudge Match, Melissa won Student of the Week 11 times to claim the title. She is always helpful with the beginners and trains hard. Melissa is a good role model for the rest of the class."
