A huge thank you to the teachers, staff, community members and everyone involved in the awards last night. It was very well run and we enjoyed being there! Thank you!
Well done to all the students who gained their awards. A special congratulations to my son Benjamin Lawrence, who has worked so hard to gain the six awards recognising his achievements after a particularly trying twelve months. I am very proud to be your father and long may you continue to “strive toward perfection”
