The much anticipated slide show of the sports in review was welcomed by the students, checking to see if they were featured. The "lessons to be learnt" were informative and funny. The, Zac Santo featured and Hudson Fox created ,video "Camp Biggest Pajino" was very well done with an excellent message .Many Duke of Edinburgh Awardees were presented with Mr Horne gaining the Gold Award for 2010. Debating Drama and Dance Awards were also presented to worthy recipients while President of the Interact Club, Jarrah, gave a detailed recount of the many wonderful and worthy causes the Interact Club has supported.The drama group provided a comical review of the year.
