Secondary Prize Giving was a chance to celebrate the learning, service and growth of our students. The event, held at a packed Crossroads church, opened with a lively performance from Zebrahdahs Rockquest band. For many the highlight of evening was Head Boy Paula Tuimana’s speech. His humble words honouring his dedicated mother and father looking down from above left many quite moved.
