Presentation Night

Presentation night is an opportunity to showcase some of the great work our students do throughout the year. We congratulate award winners who are listed below and I reminded students about something they have read by A.A.Milne.

His famous characters, Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin live in the Hundred Acre Forest with a group of friends. Things do not always run smoothly because sometimes they argue and difficulties arise but in the end the friends find acceptance, strength and encouragement in each other.

Students were asked to remember:

You are braver than you believe

Stronger than you seem

Smarter than you think

And loved more than you know.

Final Assemblies

At the final Assemblies this week, Subject and Colours Awards were presented. Congratulations to those students who worked hard to achieve these awards.
