At last week's whole school assembly, we proudly presented the Australian Defence Force (ADF) Long Tan Leadership and Teamwork Awards alongside the ADF Innovators Awards.

The Long Tan Awards honour students who have displayed exceptional qualities of leadership, teamwork, and resilience, setting a positive example for their peers and contributing actively to our school community.

The Innovators Awards recognise students with a passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, celebrating their creativity, problem-solving skills, and dedication to innovation.

These awards highlight the achievements of students who embody the values championed by the Australian Defence Force, and we congratulate the recipients for their remarkable contributions and commitment to excellence.

A huge congratulations to all our winners – Baylen Whittaker, Tiago Hallen, Zali Hoare and Alexander Ratajkoski.

A big thank you to Major Eamon Kenny for taking the time to present these awards!
