Cheers abounded as we celebrated our achievements from the last 12 months at our annual awards ceremony!

With some sterling work from our premises team, our Sports Hall was transformed from a 200 seat examination hall into a 450 seat celebratory space, before Sister Margaret, our Chair of Governors, welcomed guests to begin proceedings.

The presentation of awards, which represented all year groups in our school, were interspersed with live entertainment including Ellin singing 'Human', Anna and Evie singing Delibes' 'Flower Duet' and a high energy dance performance to 'This Is Me'. Guests were also invited to join songs backed by our live band of staff and students.

It is always a delight to welcome back many of our former students, lots of whom make the return trip from their university towns, and this year was no exception with lots of familiar faces at the presentation of Year 13 subject awards.

In true BAFTA style, some recipients were unable to attend due to prior commitments (such as University residentials!) and so we had some video messages of thanks, including from one of the recipients of our most prestigious awards, the Spirit of St Julie Award which this year was awarded to Katie in Year 11 and Bridie in Year 13.

After receiving her award, we then called upon Bridie to formally close the evening before Mr Anderson led all those present in some very enthusastic singing!
