PRIZEGIVING CEREMONY

Welcome to Ardrossan Academy’s annual prize-giving which is a highlight in the school calendar. It is an honour to be able to share this evening with young people and their families, taking an opportunity to celebrate achievements in this school year and reflect on the outstanding performance of pupils in a variety of areas. This evening, we are delighted to have Mrs Boatman of the Home Economics department present prizes before she retires from Ardrossan Academy after 17 years of service at the school. I hope you enjoy the musical talents and leadership capabilities of Ardrossan students tonight, as you see our values of ambition, respect and excellence come to life. L.
