Peter Bol will be competing in the 800m final at 9.05pm on Wednesday 4th August, Perth time. Whatever the result on Wednesday night, Peter Bol is a champion athlete, role model and inspiration for our students.

Peter is an ex-St Norbert College student who started his athletic journey at school and ACC events. It is a remarkable story and come what may in the final we are all very proud of his achievements.

If you didn’t read Ben Smith's piece in todays West Australian I have attached it here. It is a great read.

Qualifying for an Olympic Track event final is arguably one of the toughest things to achieve at the Olympics. Track events have competitors from across the globe and from rich and poor countries alike. He is the first Australian to qualify for an 800m final in 53 years. I loved what Peter said after his semi final win. “I have to stay focused and stay humble”.  

I know that everyone in the ACC community will get behind Peter Bol on Wed night to cheer him on.  Godspeed File 11240young man.
