A proud sporting history
In 2015, as we mark the University
of Newcastle’s 50th anniversary, it is
timely to reflect not only on our strong
educational and research record, but
also on the proud sporting history and
community that has contributed to a
rich and distinctive campus culture for
our students and staff.
Over its history, the University of
Newcastle (UON) has produced many
outstanding athletes, including Anthony
Ekert (Rugby Union), Martin Kelly
(Judo), Sophie Stanwell (Heptathlon),
Heath Francis (Athletics), Carolyn
Connors (Swimming) and Robbie
Rochow (Rugby League). Building on
this impressive record, the University’s
sporting endeavours have grown
to span 25 sporting clubs across a
diverse range of interests that support
over 2,000 students each year.
I am delighted to note that in 2015
our students continued this tradition
of sporting excellence, representing
UON with pride, passion and
sportsmanship across a range of
national and international events.
This year, two of our University students
competed in the World University
Games in Gwangju, South Korea.
Both athletes, Julia Barton and Montana
Perkins, represented Australia in the
Women’s Water Polo team that made
history by winning Gold. The University
of Newcastle was also again well
represented at the Eastern University
Games in Wagga Wagga.
In July, the University’s Wollotuka
Institute also hosted the 20th National
Indigenous Tertiary Education
Student Games, welcoming over 500
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
tertiary students from universities all
around Australia to compete across
four core sports at the Callaghan
campus. Capping off a great week,
Team Wollotuka took home the overall
winner’s trophy for the event.
The annual University of Newcastle
Sports Awards allow us to celebrate
the outstanding achievements of our
student athletes, and recognise the
significant contributions of coaches,
officials and administrators who so
generously devote their time to the
success of our clubs. The Awards also
provide opportunity to acknowledge the
considerable support of our sponsors
and the community through another
remarkable year of sport at UON.
On behalf of the University, I sincerely
congratulate this year’s finalists and
award winners, and I look forward to
celebrating the future achievements
of our sporting community, both on
and off the field.
Professor Caroline McMillen
Celebrating 50 years
of sporting excellence
Our role at NUsport is to develop and
operate world-class facilities to provide
a vibrant environment that supports and
encourages participation in sport and
recreation at all levels for students, staff
and the wider community.
NUsport successfully provides a place
for people of all walks of life and all
abilities to access quality sport and
fitness. Through projects including the
Elite Athlete Friendly University program,
sports scholarships, University Sport
activities, NUsport also provides many
opportunities for those pursuing sport
at the highest levels to achieve their
full potential.
University sport has a rich and valued
history at the University of Newcastle.
The formation of the University of
Newcastle Sports Union in 1965
following autonomy with 18 clubs
set the foundations for NUsport.
We continue to see a strong growth
in participation by students across
a range of programs but particularly
in clubs and inter-university sport
with 26 clubs currently affiliated with
NUsport. It is a past that we are
immensely proud and one that we
believe sets solid foundations
for the future.
The University of Newcastle Sports
Awards are an important part of this
history and reflect our ongoing
commitment to providing high quality
services and facilities. The first University
College Blues were presented in 1955,
with the Blues Association later forming
4 July 1967, after autonomy. Our history
of sporting successes is evident with
the number of past students who have
achieved Olympic, Commonwealth
and World University Games honours.
The successes of the past continue
to inspire those of current and future
student athletes.
celebrate the thousands of students,
members of staff and members of the
wider community whose contribution
to sport makes it possible for these
outstanding results. They each inspire
NUsport to even higher standards.
Thank you for joining us and helping
celebrate 50 years sporting excellence.
