 On Wednesday 28 October, our 30th Presentation night was held at the Gold Coast Arts Centre. The theme for the evening was ‘Striving for Unity’ which highlighted our strong belief that great things can be achieved when we work together. We acknowledged around 250 students who had been outstanding in their efforts throughout the year. Students were recognised for academic excellence, cultural and sporting achievements and community service. Of course all this could only have been achieved by the students with significant support from families and teaching staff as well as learning partnerships with peers, industry, tertiary institutions and community groups. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who support our students in their endeavours.
It was also a very entertaining evening, with many students showcasing their extraordinary talents in the areas of acting, singing, musical performance and dance. As always, the dedication of staff members was evident and their willingness to mentor and guide our students is why Merrimac is such a fantastic school.
