Gracie's Path to Success in European League Basketball

We are incredibly proud to share the inspiring journey of Gracie, one of our standout students at St Gregory’s, who has made remarkable strides in European League Basketball. Gracie's exceptional talent and dedication have earned her a coveted spot on the London Lions team, a significant achievement that highlights her hard work and the support she has received from our school community.

Achievements in Basketball

Gracie’s selection to the London Lions is a testament to her skill and determination. Out of over 150 hopefuls, she was one of only twelve chosen to join this prestigious team. This opportunity allows her to train and compete at a European level, fulfilling a dream she has worked tirelessly to achieve. "I’ve had so much support and encouragement from everyone at St Gregory’s," Gracie shares. "It’s enabled me to attend training in London throughout the week and travel to European tournaments, all while balancing my studies."
