End of Year Awards

On Thursday 4 December we held our Year 10 and 11 end of year awards ceremony.  Students were recognised for their outstanding achievements across all subjects as well as those that showed an exceptional approach to their learning.  Anika Menz played the piano as families took their seats and our 2026 school captains undertook the emcee duties.

Kieran McDowell, Head and Middle School and Tom Ding, Head of Senior School both spoke about their respective year levels and how impressed they were with their achievements.

Awards were presented by Steve Cabai, Year 10 Coordinator and Kris Burridge and Angelo Rambaldi, Year 11 coordinators who all spoke about their reflections on the year and the students receiving awards.  We were fortunate to be shown the Unit 3/4 media film ‘Error 404’ by Year 11 student Joe Joyce during the interlude.

Friday 12 December saw approximately 65 of our Year 7, 8 and 9 students receive their awards.  Year 7 coordinators Claudia Giarrusso and Georgia Stavrakis, Year 8 Coordinator David Baird and Year 9 coordinators Jack Dalton and Madeline Duyker presented student awards for academic excellence and endeavour. 

Specialist awards were presented by the heads of year and included the House Award, Sports and Arts awards as well as the Peter Edgeberg Civics and Citizenships Award and Dux Awards.  The interlude for these awards was a film made by the Year 9 media class showcasing the recent ‘Futsal World Cup’ held here at Thornbury HS.
