Casterton Celebrates Student Success at Presentation Evening
On November 13th the College celebrated the achievements of last year’s Year 11 at our Annual Presentation Evening. It was delightful to see the students again and they were able to meet up with old friends. Our guest speaker this year was Adam Frost. Adam is a multi-gold medal winner at the Chelsea Flower Show and he spoke of the development of his career from his early days with Geoff Hamilton at Barnsdale through to his Chelsea successes, which he assured us, involved some very early mornings. Adam has been appointed as the Royal Horticultural Society’s ‘Ambassador for Youth’ so his talk to the students of 2014 had a particular resonance and encouraged the students to be passionate about the interests that they love and to give their all. This year a new feature was the introduction of the Subject Leaders talking about their award nominations. This was particularly well received by the audience, with emotion very evident! After the formalities the parents and students gathered in the Courtyard for refreshments with the staff. There was also the chance for some students of a ‘selfie’ with Adam!
