Dear Parents/Carers, Students and Friends of Prospect High School,

Presentation Assembly

Congratulations to all recipients of awards at the Celebration Assembly held last Friday 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. After the assembly we were treated to an amazing selection of refreshments prepared by our catering team.  Congratulations also to all involved in organising and delivering the assembly and preparing food. Musical performances were outstanding. 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 Monday 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  - Mrs Carmen Gill (SGL), Mr Steve Andrews and Mrs Sonya Matthews (GLs), Care Teachers: Mr Tony Harrington, Mrs Adrienne McMahon, Ms Anna Collins; Gr 10 team member Mrs Belinda Hawkins and AP Ms Bonnie Hall who have made a significant contribution to guiding and supporting Grade 10 students this year .
