End of the Journey for Year 13s
In addition to the prizegiving ceremonies held in the evening, the final, formal assemblies held for each Year level provide important mile stones to mark the closing of a school year and a chance to reflect. Of particular poignance was the Year 13 final assembly, their final gathering as a year group at Newlands College. Below is the video that concluded the assembly.
Academic Prizegiving
The school year culminates, for both the the senior and junior school, in the Academic Prizegiving evenings where we publicly acknowledge those who have achieved at the highest levels across the academic spectrum including scholarship recipients and, of course, the Dux for 2017. Congratulations to all recipients, but in particular to Shine Wu and Clarice Du Toit the joint winners of the Dux award.
