St Kevin's College Senior Prize Giving and Graduation Ceremoney 2014

Last night we celebrated the academic success of the College at our Senior Prize Giving and Graduation Ceremony for 2014.  The evening began in the Chapel with a Mass and once again Father Wayne offered wise words during the homily.  The graduating students lit their graduation candles before processing out and gathering on the Chapel steps for the traditional recreation of the photo that was taken as Year 9 students.  After moving into the Auditorium the graduating students, staff and invited guests were piped in by College pipers Natalie Preston and Chris Olsen, after which the academic awards were presented.  Congratulations to all of the students who were recognised during the evening, but in particular to Georgia Holland who was named Dux of the College for 2014.  Well done!

Part of the evening programme saw the announcement of the College Top 6 students for 2015. Congratulations to:
