Grade 12 Academic Prize Giving 2020
DILIGENCE
I call upon Mr Ryan Hammond to congratulate the recipient's Academic Awards for Grade 12 of 2020.
We start with Diligence. Diligence certificates will not be awarded today due to COVID restrictions. However, we would like to honour these students and therefore request that they come onto stage so that we can applaud this achievement. Diligence is awarded to all students who obtain diligence nominations in a set number of subjects. As a College, we highly regard this acknowledgement - as it honours students who have worked consistently throughout the year by giving their best.
Please hold your applause until all students are on the stage. A gentle reminder to socially distance yourself from your peers.
