Year 8’s Receive Academic Achievement Awards
Earlier this week, a year level assembly was staged in the Gym for our Year 8 cohort. Mr. Hayden Bennett and Mr. Craig Curtis presented a host of Year 8 students with an academic achievement certificate based on their overall Semester 1 grades.
Congratulations to the students listed below and their families on this outstanding success.
