2nd Annual Awards Evening

Our College hosted its 2nd Annual Awards Evening on Wednesday last week.  The evening was a massive success and it was great to celebrate the achievements of students.  The evening showcased the wide range of student achievement from academic, sporting, musical and cultural.  It was also a great opportunity for us to reflect as a College Community on all that we have achieved this year.  

There have been many people involved with ensuring the evening was a success.  We really value the contribution of staff, students and College community members to ensure the night ran smoothly.

Thank you again to those that sponsored our Special Awards including the Ripley Valley State Secondary College Parents and Citizens Association, Honourable Lance McCallum MP-State Member for Bundamba, Honourable Shayne Neumann MP-Federal Member for Blair and Modern Teaching Aids.
