Prize Giving Celebrates Achievements Of the School Year

This year our celebrations took place on Thursday 30 June, with the Lower School receiving their awards in the afternoon and Junior 5 and 6 in the evening.

Headmaster, Mr Duigan gave a thought-provoking speech, he gave thanks to the many who give so much to the school in so many ways. He challenged every boy and every girl to learn something new every day and reminded that those who succeed have to be brave enough to fail. He encouraged all the children to strive to do their best and to never limit themselves.

Crackley Hall’s pupil leaders gave their reports speaking movingly about their time in office and their Crackley journeys, and the memories and friends they will take with them as they move on to secondary school.

And then there were the awards, book awards for progress, effort and diligence, school spirit and kindness, achievement, resilience and endeavour, compassion and care and contribution to school life. Followed by cups and shields and trophies galore, all recognising the diligence, effort and excellence that abounds at Crackley Hall.

It was difficult to pick winners for this year’s Special Awards as there were many worthy potential recipients, so it was with great pride that Mr Duigan awarded the following:

St Joseph’s School Spirit Award – Elle Weir

Zanyi Chalmers Award – Dillon Horan

Scholarship Award – Alexander Ainsworth

Sister Mary Patrick Trophy for Caring – Stephanie Perkins

PTA Crackley Hall Shield – Lily Bryson

As the ceremonies concluded, all Crackley pupils were encouraged to reflect on their achievements this year, as prize winner or not, all should be rightfully proud.
