Today, the school community gathered for the annual End of Year Assembly and Prize Giving, a celebration of the talent, commitment, and achievements of our students across academic, sporting, and extracurricular life. Each award presented reflects not only the dedication and endeavour of our students in developing their individual talents, but also the invaluable support and encouragement provided by their teachers and coaches. We warmly congratulate all of the students honoured and acknowledge the collective efforts of everyone involved in helping them succeed.
This year, 42 academic awards were presented, representing the broad range of curricular subjects offered within the school. As a comprehensive school, we are proud to provide a truly comprehensive curriculum that enables students to pursue and excel in a wide variety of disciplines. In addition to academic excellence, the ceremony also recognised outstanding achievement beyond the classroom, with 25 sporting awards and 12 extracurricular awards presented to students who have made exceptional contributions to school life.
