Tuesday evening presented our college community with an opportunity to come together to celebrate the achievements of our students. Awards were presented to over 150 students in recognition of their efforts in the fields of academia, sports, community service, leadership, visual art and performing art. We have high expectations of our students and it is fabulous that so many have outstanding academic records across a broad range of subjects.

For many students, these awards are an external reward for their intrinsic motivation. For others, the receipt of generous scholarships – many of which are provided by generous benefactors – will open doors to new educational opportunities.

We thank all of the staff and students who helped make the night a success but reserve our biggest thanks for the parents whose ongoing support allows the award recipients to excel.
