The event recognised the effort and achievements of pupils from across the school over the last 12 months. Students were presented with their prizes in front of their family, friends and the wider school community. As ever, it wasn’t just academic success that was recognised with awards for achievements in the wider community too. Addressing the gathered audience, headteacher Dr Patricia Holland said: “A school is just a building without the people. It’s the young people and staff who breathe life into our school and we believe as Catholics that the Holy Spirit is ever present, guiding our hearts and our minds. I don’t think you could fail to be inspired here tonight by the achievements and success of our young people.” She said the evening wasn’t just about celebrating academic excellence: “being a successful learner is about trying your best, learning from mistakes and achieving your personal goals”. Dr Holland took the time to thank the staff for “all that they do to support our young people, our families and each other”, adding: “They truly are the most caring, creative and resilient team who work so hard to inspire and motivate our young people to achieve”. Speaking directly to the pupils she said “your hard work has paid off and your school is so proud of you”. Dr Holland continued: “Every young person here tonight deserves their moment to shine and needs to know that as a school community we are so very proud of them and all that they have achieved”.
