This week we held a Scholarship and Leadership Presentation where all the students who have been awarded scholarship were presented with pins and certificates. Additionally, all the student leaders in the Secondary School were presented with their Name Plates. It was a wonderful ceremony and one which highlighted the leadership skills of our students and the opportunities provided to them. For those who did not attend it was captured in a very short video which has been posted on Facebook. I would ask all our parents to follow our Facebook Page and share freely.

The GWAPA Committee is key to the organisation of these events and I would like to thank the outgoing committee for their tremendous work last year. We would also like to encourage you to nominate yourself for the committee this year. GWAPA Committee role descriptions for 2018-19.
