Student success celebrated at annual award evenings

Academic excellence, sporting prowess and contribution to the community have been recognised during the College’s annual awards season.

The Year 12 and 13 awards evenings, which took place in May and June, celebrated the achievements of more than 160 students from across the College.

Prizes were given to the highest performing students in each subject area, as well as to those who have contributed to the College community and culture through music, sports, volunteering and leadership.

Year 13 student Toby Doorbar was presented with the prestigious Saner Prize, for Student of the Year, in a tradition that goes back 100 years.

The College was delighted to welcome special guest, Bill Watkin, Chief Executive of the Sixth Form College’s Association, to the Year 13 ceremony. Bill presented the prizes to students and delivered an inspirational speech where he talked about his journey to the top and the importance of following your passions.

Matt Snelson, Chief Executive of The Sir John Brunner Foundation presented the prizes to Year 12 students during a sparkling ceremony in June.

Singer Leah Barrow opened the evening with an incredible performance of 'Watch What Happens' from the musical Newsies, while Head Student Aaron Rohimun reflected on the year on behalf of students.
