Wellbeing - Senior School
This week I take the opportunity to recognise and congratulate the students in the Senior School who have been rewarded for their dedication, application and talents across different facets of College life. Here’s a snapshot of the awards and the recipients in 2025:
Year 9
Throughout Term 1, 70 students have received Commendation Awards at Year Coordinator Meetings. At our final YCM for Term 2, an additional 60 will be receiving commendation awards for their hard work and effort across their classes and interactions with peers.
One of the great community building initiatives that has developed within the Senior School cohorts for several years are the student-based awards that are presented at Year Coordinator Meetings. These awards are highly sought as they reflect recognition from peers. I take this opportunity to congratulate all the boys who have been recognised for their respective achievements.
