Secondary Celebration Assemblies

This week in Secondary, we have recognised and celebrated student achievements in curriculum subjects, as well as accomplishments outside of the classroom through our BISAD Values Awards and Outstanding Whole School Contribution Awards for Term 1.

Our celebration assemblies are moments of pride and joy, showcasing the remarkable achievements of our students. As we applaud each success, we reinforce our school values of Kindness, Respect, and Honesty, as well as acknowledge the empathy, resilience, and talent among all the students in our community.

As a school, this academic year, we are focusing on Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG15). Consequently, students voted to go electronic with certificates as a way of saving the environment by using less paper. We are also awarding those who won an award with seeds to plant in our community garden. These plants will remain a symbol of their personal growth as individuals, as well as ensuring the continued sustainability of the garden. We congratulate all our student award winners and continue to encourage each and every member of our community to strive for success in all that they do!

Keane on the piano and Mr. Quigley orchestrating away. This heartfelt performance highlighted the spirit of collaboration and hope for a brighter future for children everywhere.
