Every year the school makes awards to students who have succeed and made substantial accomplishments. Before the formal 2023 graduation ceremony, held on the 12th of July, the school held a celebratory lunch and awarded prizes to many students. Professor Jonathan Roberts, who chairs the awards and recognition committee, said "We hold extraordinary pride in all our students, but there are certain individuals who have truly exceeded our expectations. Each of the award winners received a glass trophy paperweight and certificate to commemorate their remarkable achievements".
We extend heartfelt congratulations to these recipients, as well as to every student who graduated this year.
