Year 13 Graduation and Prize-Giving 2017

Alan Roberston —

Graduation is an opportunity to recognise the satisfactory completion of five years of secondary school education for many of our students. 


This is a significant milestone in a student’s life and the Graduation Diploma is highly sought after, especially overseas.

The Graduation Ceremony was held at Horncastle Arena on Monday 6th November and also encompassed the traditional Senior Prize-Giving for Year 13 students.

Students were read in Form Class groups by their Form Teachers and had the opportunity to receive their awards in front of their very proud family and friends.

Three levels of Graduation Diploma were awarded:

  • GRADUATION DIPLOMA, for those meeting the basic requirements.

  • GRADUATION DIPLOMA WITH MERIT, for those comfortably exceeding the basic requirements and gaining Excellence in one or two of their subjects.

  • GRADUATION DIPLOMA WITH DISTINCTION, for those excelling in the basic requirements and receiving Excellence in three or more subjects or placed First in one or more of their subjects.


The evening culminated with addresses from the two Head Prefects, Izzy Prasad and Sam Burt, and the announcement of the Proxime Accessit, Linda Wang, and the 2017 Dux of the School, Justine Lee.
