Celebrating Excellence: Principal’s Assembly and Academic Honours
Celebrating Excellence: Principal’s Assembly and Academic Honours
We look forward to gathering as a College community for the Term Two Principal’s Assembly, which will be held on Tuesday 24 June, 9.40am-10.45am.
This special event marks an opportunity to recognise and celebrate student achievement, and to acknowledge the consistent effort and commitment that lies behind academic success.
A key feature of the assembly is the presentation of the Academic Honour Awards. These awards celebrate students who have demonstrated excellence across all of their subjects throughout the semester. Awards are presented for each year group, and much like the
All-Rounder Awards presented on Presentation Day, Academic Honours recognise not just subject-specific achievement, but a broad commitment to learning across the curriculum.
Due to seating limitations in the College Hall, parents and caregivers are unable to attend the assembly in person. However, the event will be live-streamed, allowing families to view the proceedings online in real time. Please note that the assembly will not be recorded for later viewing.
Congratulations in advance to all students receiving Academic Honours this semester.
Their achievements reflect discipline, curiosity, and resilience - values that define excellence at Bennies.
We will be in contact shortly with award recipients and their families with further details.
We hope you can join us online.
