Assembly for academic awards

Parents, students and staff of Brisbane Water Secondary College celebrated student achievement last Wednesday at the college's Academic Assembly.

"This assembly recognised outstanding success by 65 students from Years 7 to 12 who were nominated by their teachers as having shown high academic achievement across a range of courses during first semester," said principal Mr Pat Lewis.

During the assembly, the audience was treated to musical performances by Tessa Nuku, Tim Moretta and Ashleigh Wilkinson.

"An added highlight of the assembly was an address given by the 2003 college dux, Adam Austin, who is now studying at Sydney University.

"Adam shared with the audience, particularly the students, some sound advice on school life and his secrets of success as well as some of his new experiences as a university student.

"He showed himself to be an outstanding role model for students to follow and was warmly applauded by all present.

"Following the presentation, hospitality students served a delicious morning tea in the library to demonstrate the student talent within the college," he said.
