Principal's Report
Dear Parents/Guardians, Students and Friends of Prospect High School,
Presentation Assembly
Congratulations to all recipients of awards at the Celebration Assembly held last Tuesday afternoon in the Prospect High School gymnasium. This was an opportunity to celebrate and recognise cultural, academic, citizenship, sporting and leadership achievements of individuals and recognise every Grade 10 student as a much-valued member of our school. Thank you to guests, parents and family members and staff who attended. Thanks also to sponsors for donation of prizes.
Grade 10 Celebration Dinner
Grade 10 students and staff enjoyed the Celebration Dinner held on Thursday night at the Country Club Casino. The graduates or should I say young ladies and men looked stunning and enjoyed the food, music and dancing. The Grade 10 graduates have had four great years at Prospect High School and made close friendships, some of which will be life-long friendships. I would like to acknowledge the hard work and creativity that went into the preparation of this evening. The decorations and table settings looked amazing and students looked stunning. Students and staff enjoyed the catering, music and dancing. I would also like to acknowledge the Grade 10 team - Many teachers especially the 2022 Grade 10 team have made a significant contribution to guiding and supporting you this year. This team - Ms Sandra De Paoli (SGL), Mr Will Reynolds (GL), Care Teachers: Mrs Allison Hay, Mrs Tamieka Pace, Mrs Katrina Knowles, Mr Aaron Gilligan, Ms Emily Burn, Mrs Belinda Hawkins, Mrs Jan Phillips and Assistant Principal Ms Bonnie Hall who have made a significant contribution to guiding and supporting Grade 10 students this year. Speeches by Jakeb and Ellina also acknowledged care and support of this team and the enormous impact Prospect High School has had on Grade 10 graduates over the past four years.
Student Success
