Awards Evening

The Awards Evening will be held in the Sport Hall (the Raptor Dome) on Wednesday the 20th October 2021.  The Awards Evening provides a great opportunity to recognise the achievement of students.  It also plays an important role in forging a strong sense of College tradition.  Undercover parking is available under the Sport Hall and accessible via Parkway Avenue.  Please arrive at 6.15 pm for a 6.30 pm start.  Parents and carers of students are invited to join us for this special occasion.  An overview of the Awards that will be presented this year are listed below:

Subject Awards - Awarded to the Student that achieves the highest academic performance in each subject.
