This morning, we held our much-anticipated Year 13 Presentation Assembly, and what an occasion it was! Led by Mrs Gardiner Legge and Miss Pallas-Brown, the assembly allowed us to celebrate and thank our Year 13 students for their service to various areas of school life.
It was truly wonderful to see the students applauding one another as they came up to receive their awards.
Congratulations to all recipients and thank you to each and every one of our Year 13 students.
