For the first time since 2019, the whole of Proserpine State High School (both juniors and seniors) gathered together for their annual Awards Night last Wednesday.
More than 600 family members also attended the evening which celebrated a range of achievements from students who excelled at pursuits that included sporting activities, leadership, innovation and cultural contribution.
Federal Member for Dawson Andrew Willcox and Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm also attended the evening with Mr Willcox stating that it was an honour to attend the event.
School Principal Don McDermid congratulated all award winners, saying he is very proud of all their outstanding achievements.
“I reflected on an array of personal achievements that students accomplished throughout the year, in state school initiatives and activities,” he said.
“These achievements highlight the range of experiences students at Proserpine State High School are exposed to and have the opportunity to engage within.
“Our school encourages students to be proud of their awards, and to know that striving for excellence is a great thing. That perseverance, hard work and aiming for excellence is an attribute to be respected.
“Thank you to everyone who supported the evening, whether it be those who attended to acknowledge the wonderful talents and success of our students, or our generous community partners and sponsors for their contribution to the evening.”
