Earlier today, over two hundred worthy students (and staff) were recognised for recent successes across various pursuits. This included our (creatively-dressed) Year 12 students – in what was their final whole school assembly at PLHS, they were given well wishes for their upcoming final assessments and exams.
Congratulations to all of today’s award recipients, and thanks again to all of the parents/caregivers who attended the event.
