This morning we held our year end prizegiving assembly.
Each class teacher had 2 two teacher awards for their class, and we presented the Annual attendance awards to pupils who missed no school, or only one day of school.
We also acknowledged all the pupils who have contributed to school teams, clubs and committees throughout the school year.
