Taekwondo Tournament

Saturday 24 May 2025

On Saturday 24 May, Shore students delivered an impressive performance at the Taekwondo Tournament hosted by St Ignatius’ College, Riverview. In a tough match-up, Shore proved too good for St Aloysius’ College with a strong 4–1 victory in a demonstration of the team’s skill and discipline.

A special mention goes to Christian Wong (Year 11), who sparred with exceptional technique and focus throughout the event. The team was expertly led by Captain Andrew Gilchrist (Year 12), whose leadership and strategic guidance were instrumental, alongside the steady support of Joshua Lo (Year 11).

While not every result went our way, Benjamin Pennefather’s (Year 12) effort deserves recognition. He faced one of the top fighters of the tournament and pushed through with unmatched endurance, lasting longer than any other competitor. His resilience was a clear reflection of the team’s overall tenacity.

Congratulations to all our Taekwondo students who represented Shore with such distinction. The tournament was a chance for our boys to learn, grow, and support each other in the true spirit of the sport.
