What's new? Secondary Assembly This week our Secondary students had a special assembly where we celebrated excellence across the Secondary School. Students were congratulated for their hard work and dedication across a range of fields. The Gallery of Excellence in Secondary School, which showcases examples of excellent work, has recently been updated with student work from the first semester. Students were recognised in the assembly for having their work selected for The Gallery of Excellence. We also enjoyed two musical recitals, from Egor Banshchitov playing piano, and Katarina Vulic playing the violin. Both Egor and Katarina have dedicated hundreds of hours of their time to refine their musical skills and abilities. Their performances, we are sure will have inspired others in their pursuit of excellence. During the assembly, the Middle School Student Council and High School Student Council representatives were announced. Students across the Secondary School have had the opportunity to stand for a number of roles and have undergone a rigorous selections process. High School students not only had to complete an initial application, but also had to prepare and deliver a speech in front of their peers and sit a panel interview, consisting of staff and a student representative. We are very excited about the ideas that students already have to help further improve and enhance our Secondary School and we are looking forward to the Student Councils being a driving force for positive change in school. Finally during the assembly, we had the pleasure of announcing the Principal's Scholarship Award 2023-24. This year's deserving recipient was Taylen Jacobs from Grade 10. Taylen not only represents the Hamilton Core Values on a daily basis, but he also volunteers his time to support a wide range of school events, has represented Hamilton in sporting and non-sporting competitions and achieves outstanding grades in his academics. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob's were invited to join us for the event, to hear accolades from Mr. Senior and to witness Taylen receive his award and well-deserved applause. We are confident that Taylen will continue to inspire the student community at Hamilton to give their best and fulfil their potential.
