Our Junior Prizegiving in early December celebrated the talents and successes of our junior students in academic, sporting and cultural pursuits.

We farewelled our inspirational and entertaining Head of Art, Don Mackenzie. Representatives of his House Group, 3/4, made a special presentation to him, and he received a standing ovation from the audience.

Congratulations to Ben Clayton, our 2014 Junior Dux, and to all the other award winners.
