This week we held a Covid-safe event for our Anniversary Awards, Teaching Excellence Awards and Staff Excellence Awards. With the easing of restrictions and the magic of video conferencing, we were able to award many of our recipients with their awards at our in-person event as well as over Zoom.
We celebrated the amazing efforts that our teachers and staff have gone to this year, in order to bring quality training to our students in another year of constant change. Congratulations to all our finalists, award winners and anniversary award recipients!
