SHIRBURNIAN SENIOR SCHOOL
COMMEM
CELEBRATION PRIZE GIVING Music Prize – Ryan Bisgrove, Year 10 “He has shown tremendous commitment towards the subject, delivered outstanding presentations on Set Works. He has demonstrated an excellent understanding of how to implement musical concepts into compositions and, last but not least, he has continued to develop his playing and performance skills on the piano with a commitment to concerts and exams” - Mr Arts, Head of Music.
Our annual Commem celebration was held online in form time during the second to last day of the academic year. The video included a series of speeches, artwork, and performances compiled and edited by our extremely talented Sherborne Qatar Radio Production team, which yet again emphasises our commitment to pupil voice and events that are ‘for the pupils, by the pupils’. A list of Special Award winners are as follows: The Principal’s Award – Sofia Rozier Spinks, Year 9 “Time to time, when merited, it is my honour to present a Senior School pupil with the Principal’s Award. I want to spend a few moments to explain why I have selected this year’s recipient. Whilst Sherborne Radio has been the culmination of the work of many pupils, who all deserve praise, the recipient of this prize has been a driving force. They have, among other achievements, chaired meetings and allocated roles, taken the lead designing the Sherborne Radio logo and promoted the work of the Radio. Beyond Sherborne Radio, among their many skills and attributes, she is a talented musician, regularly performing in school, and she has done much to raise money for charity. The Principal’s Award goes to Sofia Rouzier Spinks. Congratulations Sofia” - Mr N Prowse, Principal.

Simon Eliot Drama Prize – Molly Lashley, Year 11 “As a practical subject, there have been significant challenges to overcome in drama this year. There has been no opportunity for workshops, productions or rehearsals, but this person has embraced his learning with tenacity, focus and a determination which has resulted in some exceptional work” - Mrs Wolfe, Head of Performing Arts. PTA Charity Award – Maab Elsheikh, Year 10 “This year’s PTA charity award goes to a pupil who has spent her free time helping others and the environment; from cleaning rubbish on an island, to looking after children at a nursery and babysitting cousins/nieces and nephews, to helping to run an Islamic workshop and volunteering at an Engineering Convention”. Mrs Wollaston, Chair of the PTA. Art Prize – Rachel Hallett, Year 11 “Awarded to Rachel because of her ability but also her mature attitude towards her art and work ethic. I hope you enjoy looking at her art work below, in the opening sections and on the cover of the Shirburnian”. Mrs Rudling, Head of Art & Design.
