Year 10, Semester 1 Awards
On Monday July 25th, Lauren Anglin, Chris Hewitt and myself presented a number of students with academic awards that recognized not only their achievements in Semester 1, but also their exceptional effort in their classes. We were so proud to hand out 62 awards to 54 students that celebrated academic merit and endeavour in Semester 1 – including 6 Principals Awards for outstanding achievement and efforts.
