Prizegiving 2013

What a celebration of 2013 we were treated to last night at the LAS prizegiving!  Congratulations to all of the students who received awards and trophies in recognition of their extra-special achievements.  We know that you all 'Strive to Excel' and we are proud of the year that all of our Room 4 students have had.  Some of you achieved outstanding success in South Otago representative activities, which have been acknowledged and congratulated during Junior School assemblies throughout the year.  We look forward to following your continued successes and watch with interest as you become the older students at LAS and receive some of the many sporting and academic awards on offer.

The night began with some singing items by the Y0-10 students.

The Year 3 students all received their merit certificates...

... followed by the Year 4's.

The choir entertained with two songs....

... including one involving four students keeping the beat in time, and doing tricks with cups!!!  VERY ENTERTAINING!

Room 4's ukulele group performed a medley of 3 songs.

 AND SO TO THE SPECIAL AWARDS RECEIVED BY ROOM 4 STUDENTS........

All Room 4 students were presented with a certificate outlining achievements throughout the year. One student from each year group was awarded the Academic Achievement Award, while another was chosen as the Lawrence Lions Evans Bequest for Diligence throughout the year.

There were also three Room 4 students who received trophies to celebrate their achievements in swimming this year......

Kate - winner of the Year 4 academic achievement award

Abby - winner of the Year 4 Evan's Bequest for Diligence award

Samara - winner of the Year 3 academic achievement award

Josie - winner of the Year 3 Evan's Bequest for Diligence award

Toby - winner of the Room 4 Little Red Hen citizenship award

Rubie - winner of the Junior Girls swimming trophy

Jenaya - winner of the most improved junior swimmer trophy

Hamish - winner of the water confidence trophy.
Unfortunately Hamish was unable to be present at the prizegiving assembly, so was presented his trophy at school today.

Congratulations to each and every student for your terrific work throughout the year in Room 4 and especially the way that you conducted yourselves at prizegiving.  You have been a delight to teach and have earned a well-deserved summer break.  HAVE FUN in your holidays and we look forward to seeing your smiling faces back at LAS in 2014.  HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
