Our College students enjoyed a belated and shortened version of the 2020 Celebration of Excellence this morning. Due to Covid-19 restrictions last year, a small event was held with the Matrics only, where they received their traditional Celebration of Excellence awards and certificates.
This morning we celebrated all the other grades and their significant achievements. Sincere congratulations goes to the following:
