Prom and Last Day Celebrations
Students have started to gain points for the end of year celebrations. This has been achieved through having high attendance, being punctual and promoting the school’s core values. Students need to achieve a total of 3000 points in order to attend both prom and last day events. We are extremely pleased with how students have returned to school and look forward to celebrating all of their hard work at the end of the year.
