Speech Day 2020

Each year our Speech Day event provides the opportunity for the School to recognise the many achievements of our students throughout the year.

Although 2020 provided several challenges for our school, the efforts of all our students and staff should be commended. For 200 guests were restricted in their attendance, however the event was livestreamed allowing our community to join in remotely. Awards and prizes were presented to students who demonstrated excellence in a range of fields and those that embodied our school values.

Our students, staff and community heard from Mr Edward Taylor (Class of 2020 Dux) who was our guest speaker for the occasion. Edward reiterated the thoughts of many, highlighting that COVID-19 has provided us with many challenges.

Edward went on to provide a heartfelt message to his younger peers, encouraging them to take advantage of every opportunity placed in front of them, whether that be in the classroom, on the sporting field or in the workplace •

Through the ups and downs of Coronavirus, the constants have been the friendships, compassion and the positive attitudes that I have not only in my own year group, but those that have been reflected throughout the entire school.”
