National Vocational Education Awards
2008 seniors, Zoe Hutchins and Belinda Welsh were recently awarded a DEEWR national award for Excellence in Vocational Education. These awards acknowledge the excellence these young women have demonstrated in work placements, their vocational studies (Certificate 1 and 2) and their positive participation in their school studies and school activities.
Year 12 student, Lachlan Hite, was honoured recently with the presentation of the Pierre de Courbertin award which acknowledges excellence in school sport. This is a highly prestigious award, named after the founder of the modern Olympic Games, which is awarded annually to recognise senior secondary students who demonstrate attributes consistent with Olympism through participation and commendable behaviour in sporting activities. Well Done Lachlan.
