Teachers nominate students to me for a Principal’s Commendation when they have done an outstanding piece of work, or put a lot of effort into their work and I am always pleased to see nominations coming onto my desk.
Below you can see each of the students who has received a Principal’s Commendation this term and the reason they have been awarded it. Congratulations to them all and I look forward to giving out more next term.
