Presentation Night
Box Hill High School’s annual presentation evening is a chance to celebrate the accomplishments of students across academia, sports, music, community service, and student leadership.
It was our absolute pleasure to celebrate the achievements of our wonderful students with friends, families, teachers, and wider community. We express our gratitude to the presenters and sponsors of scholarships, prizes, and awards.
Special thanks to:
- Mr Paul Hamer (MP), presenting the Mollie Holman STEAM Award.
- Mr Stuart Williams of the Forrest Hill Rotary Club, presenting the Ford Davis Scholarship.
- The Ferdinands Family for their ongoing sponsorship of the Dru Ferdinands School Service Award.
The evening was supported by phenomenal musical acts from the BHHS Choir, Year 11 Band, and Issey Walkenhorst on violin.
