Dear [NAME]

ACADEMIC PRINCIPAL

Our annual prizegiving and “Welcome to Grantley`s evening was held on Thursday 28 January.  In the morning we celebrated with those students who received perseverance and merit certificates. The evening ceremony was dedicated to the Academic and Trophy awards as well as the traditional welcoming of the new family members to Grantley!

It is always a very happy day, perhaps so, because our children sop richly deserve  the acknowledgement and recognition for their hard work and effort, which is driven and supported by a great team.

Thank you to all our parents who attended many of whom went home or back to work standing a little taller and smiling a little broader with pride at their childrens achievement.

A special thank you to the Grade 12 parents for the wonderful spread you put together for the evening function.  Your generosity is much appreciated.

Without the team consisting of the following people the prizegiving would definitely not have been such an unqualified success.

Mrs Anita Sutherland co-ordinator
Ms Taryn  Saxby
Mrs Isolde Smit
Ms Meredith LaschingerMr Robin Sandford
William Hayes - Grade 12 student
Prefects 2010
And of course our wonderful auxiliary staff.

Thank you for a job well done!!
