On December 1st we held our Year 10 and 11 Awards Ceremony and on December 14th our Year 7, 8, and 9 Awards Ceremony took place to celebrate our 2023 high achieving students.

The events were hosted by our incoming 2024 school leaders Christina Kapatanea (Academic), Sophie Grant (Civics and Citizenship), and Meija Beccia (Arts), who capably welcomed families and students before introducing our wonderful sub-school staff and visitors to present the awards.

Thornbury High School is extremely proud of our award recipients who throughout the year have led the way with their dedication to their studies and extracurricular activities. We congratulate these students on their outstanding achievements and are excited to see what the future brings for them!
