Our Year 12 Award Ceremony for 2018 was held in the Nautilus Theatre last night, with a large crowd of invited guests, families, PLHS staff and some very relieved Year 12 students in attendance.
The event served as an opportunity to recognise the outstanding contributions and achievements of a host of students, staff and community members, across a wide variety of service and subject disciplines. Heartfelt motivational addresses were delivered by Principal Mr Greg Barry and Senior School Assistant Principal Miss Tash Rayson, with many presenters also taking the opportunity to congratulate the graduates and wish them well for the future. Following the delivery of the traditional Valedictory Speech, our 2018 Principal Student Leaders Porsha O’Brien and Liam Cowley handed over the reins to Brooklyn George and Cameron Akehurst for 2019.
The completion of twelve formal years of schooling for almost one hundred PLHS students and their families was officially acknowledged with the presentation of the Completion Certificates.
