A lovely evening was had with our long-time friends Luke and Oliver Kemmis at The Emmas Awards! These two extraordinary men were shortlisted for an EMMAS Award in recognition for their outstanding fundraising efforts for children's education causes. As long-time SOHK supporters, we've experienced first-hand the amazing work they do and we couldn't agree more that they deserve that acknowledgement💪

Well done to all the winners and nominees, and a big well done to Oliver & Luke who continue to inspire ✨

🏉✨ What an unforgettable experience!

Our young people were given a behind-the-scenes taste of elite rugby as guests of the Barbarians, meeting world-class players, taking part in a skills session, and even walking out as match-day mascots at Allianz Stadium.

A huge thank you to Barbarian FC for making our students feel so welcome and for creating an experience they will never forget. Read the article here 👉 https://loom.ly/PKhlJek

"School of Hard Knocks teaches resilience through every tackle, setback and bruise. It shows you that getting knocked down is part of the game, trusting your team and keeping going. The lessons learned here - courage, respect and never giving up - stay with you long after the final whistle." - Year 8 Student, Wales 🤩

We absolutely love to hear such great feedback from our young participants! So well written too, we may have a writer on our hands 👏
