Term 1 Academic & School Values Awards
Earlier today, a whole school assembly was staged in the PLHS Gymnasium to acknowledge the fine Term 1 efforts and achievements of many students. The ceremony was conducted by Deputy Principal Mrs Lesley Warren and opened with an Acknowledgement of Country from Miss Nicole Carter. PLHS Principal Mr Todd George delivered a thoughtful address to the students, as did our 2021 Principal Student Leaders Ned Moxey and Ursula Clarke.
Academic Award certificates were presented to Year 8, 9 and 10 students by Middle School Assistant Principal Mr Craig Curtis, with Senior School Assistant Principal Miss Bambi Britten handing out awards to the Year 11’s and 12’s. School Values Awards were then given to a select group of students who had been nominated by staff for upholding our new school values of Responsible, Respectful & Inclusive – these were presented by Principal Mr Todd George and Students Leaders Ursula Clarke and Ned Moxey.
Congratulations to all of today’s recipients.
