On Wednesday morning, a formal Senior School assembly was staged in the PLHS Gymnasium to celebrate the outstanding Semester 1 efforts and achievements of many Year 10, 11 and 12 students. The ceremony was conducted by Deputy Principal Mrs. Lesley Warren and opened with an Acknowledgement of Country delivered by Principal Student Leader Nell Cane.
Achievement certificates were presented to dozens of Year 10, 11 and 12 students, based on their exceptional subject grades in Semester 1. The assembly also provided an opportunity to acknowledge our Senior School student leaders (SRC representatives and House Captains) in front of the peers who elected them.
As with our recent Middle School formal assembly, the levels of behaviour and engagement exhibited by our senior students were again exemplary. Congratulations to all involved; a special mention must go to Mrs Amber Mullins for her excellent organisation of the proceedings.
