On Tuesday 8 December, Middle School award winners, Year 9 Graduates and staff gathered in the Barrie Holmes Stadium to celebrate the achievements of the 2020 Academic Year.

Numerous awards were presented during the ceremony. These include the Poplars Awards, Shining Light Awards, Faith in Action Awards, St Paul’s Awards, Julian Tenison Woods Awards, Barker Shields and the Lions Club Award. We also reinstated the Tenison House Cup, which began in 1962. After a hiatus of nearly 20 Years, the cup has been renovated, with house team points being allocated throughout the year. The Cup was awarded to McAuley for 2020. We had the talented Small Jazz Ensemble led by Jack Heaven perform at the awards. Well done to Beth Creedy and Penny Mansel and her team for supporting the students in their performances.

We also celebrated the Graduation of the Year 9 students who will be transitioning into the Senior School in 2021.

The ceremony was a great opportunity for outstanding students to receive recognition for their efforts, and a great chance for students and families to catch up before the end of the school year.
