Year 10 students gathered on the last day of the school term for their Prizegiving, and large numbers of students were recognised for the mahi and effort that they put in over the year in a variety of areas.

The major award of the morning, The Upper Hutt College PTA President's Cup, was jointly awarded to Olivia Trevean and Aryanna Billington (pictured above).

This is awarded to a Year 10 student for their classroom achievement and their contribution to College life.

Both students have been excellent role-models for their peers through their enthusiastic involvement in wider school life be it through sport or cultural activities, their excellent work ethic and academic results.

All Round Excellence for each House went to:

• Te Kanawa House: Anastasia Bradley
• Jackson House: Isabelle Radcliffe
• Hillary House: Ryan Grant-Derepa
• Blake House: Hannah-Elise Soper
