Our annual presentation of certificates and awards was held on Monday 19th November 2007 and once again there was an excellent attendance from both pupils and parents celebrating the great achievements from 2007. Rev Morrison opened with a prayer and Mrs Greer (chair Board of Governors) welcomed all to the evening.
Mrs Julie Healy (senior researcher of Banardo‘s NI) was our guest speaker and told inspiring stories encouraging all those listening to strive to be the best with motivation and perseverance being the key to success. We would like to thank Mrs Healy for attending the evening making it very enjoyable.
As usual, there were a number of musical items provided by the music department. As well as our traditional school hymn accompanied by the school orchestra, they also performed the theme tune from ”The Sweeney“. There were also performances from the school choir singing ”For The Beauty Of The Earth“ by John Rutter as well as the debut performance form the newly assembled chamber choir. They sang ”God Be In My Head“, fashioning very smart robes, they really did look the part!
Some notable awards were presented to those pupils achieving excellent A-level and GCSE results. Stacey Dillon received an award for best all-round performance within her A-levels where she achieved a Grade A in Sociology and Grade B in Geography and History. Also, Rebecca Hughes and Gillian Orr received the award for the best all-round performance within their GCSEs. Only a glimpse of the excellent standard of results for Summer 2007.
The evening was concluded with a vote of thanks by Mrs J Weir with refreshments being provided afterwards in the Kerr Building. Mr Graham and the Board of Governors would like to thank all who attending especially the parents of those receiving awards. The evening would not be possible without your support and attendance.
