Today the outstanding accomplishments of Canberra public school students in their final year of high school were celebrated at the Year 10 Excellence Awards.
The Year 10 Excellence Awards for Outstanding Achievement in the High School Years is the largest celebration of student achievement for Canberra public schools.
It was great to be a part of this celebration and acknowledge the wonderful achievements of year 10 public school students. This year, 68 students were presented with an award for their achievements, supported by their parents, carers, family members, principals and year coordinators.
The awards represent a year of dedication to studies, and the culmination of many years of hard work, dedication, success and community service. The students recognised today were acknowledged by their school for commitment, academic excellence, creativity, sporting prowess or a keen desire to contribute to the world.
The recipients are presented with one of three awards; being a successful learner, a confident and creative individual or an active and informed citizen. All the recipients should be very proud of their high school achievements and this recognition.
Teachers, parents, carers and friends are also central to student success at school so congratulations to them as well. I would also like to thank and acknowledge Paperchain Bookstore Manuka for their continued support of this event.
Congratulations to each of our award winners. I wish them all the best and I look forward to hearing about your future successes.
