As a fitting end to the year, our annual Awards day was held on December 20th at the Regent. popular Year 12 student Andrew Neilson was named the Dux of 2017 as well as receiving the VCE Baccalaureate. this provides an additional form of recognition for students who choose to undertake the demands of studying both a higher level mathematics and a language in their VCE program of study. Andrew studied VCE German, Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics earning him this distinguished honour. The school is very proud of Andrew and all our finishing year 12’s.
The ceremony was a celebration of all wonderful things that have happened at the school this year, which was covered in speeches by Principal, Brett Pedlow, School Council President, Alison Payne, School Captains Jessica Mattern and James Saliakos, Victorian for Youth leadership representatives Gabrielle Jones and Daniel Petterson, SRC representatives Sarah Myers and Hayley hands and Cambodia volunteers Brooke Roberts and Sam Stone. The school was also introduced to the new school captains for 2018- Hayley Hands and Layton Sketcher.
Our music students were once again a feature of the program, from the Vocal Ensemble’s rendition of Advance Australia Fair to the finale by the Big Band.
The school wishes to congratulate, not only the award winners, but all students of Yarram Secondary College for their wonderful achievements throughout the year and we look forward to seeing everyone back here on Tuesday,January 30th 2018.
Merry Christmas to All.
