Epigram - Whalley Academic Shield
To add a little competition into the academic sphere at college, we introduced the Epigram-Whalley Academic Shield. Along with our three annual fresher sports matches, we also compete against St Alberts College in fresher academics. This shield is awarded at our Academic Dinner each year to the college who had the best academic results in the previous year. After successfully holding the shield for the last three years, Robb relinquished it to Albies for best results in 2021.
