For example, this week we are celebrating the successes of students in S1-S3,  this includes subject based awards which could be viewed as ‘academic’.

Each September we hold our Senior Phase Awards Ceremony.  This is where we celebrate the successes of our students on a subject by subject basis.  That event is more formal than our celebration on Friday with usually over 100 recipients of awards.  It includes the presentation of the Marshall Memorial Medal, first presented in 1901, to the student in S5 who secures the highest level overall level of national qualifications.   This is in effect our Dux.  Parents/carers are a significant presence on that evening allowing a degree of home/school celebration.
