The Paris Olympic Games have come and gone, but the performances of former public school students are still being celebrated across Western Australia.
We’ve calculated that these former students brought home a remarkable 15 medals, evenly split with five gold, five silver and five bronze.
From the excitement of track cycling to the elegance of dressage, these athletes demonstrated excellence on the biggest global stage in a wide range of sports.
