ACADEMIC ASSEMBLY<br />

DAMASCUS EVENT<br />

On Thursday 25 February <strong>2021</strong>, we welcomed back members of<br />

the Class of 2020 as we celebrated their academic excellence<br />

throughout 2020 at the annual Academic Assembly.<br />

It was a wonderful affirmation of the students’ hard work, dedication<br />

and perseverance displayed throughout what was a very<br />

challenging year - 2020.<br />

Due to COVID-19, the event had limited attendance, and in order to<br />

share this wonderful occasion with the whole school cohort, it was<br />

recorded and shown at a later TA.<br />

Our <strong>2021</strong> College Captains Maya Tolliday and Shaun Leonard<br />

were the MC’s for the evening, and we were excited to welcome<br />

back our College Dux Grace Young-Harvey as she addressed<br />

the audience and shared some beautiful memories of her time<br />

at Damascus. She also provided insight as to how she achieves<br />

academic excellence.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Damascus College String Ensemble entertained the audience by<br />

performing ‘<strong>The</strong> Black Swan’ by Trevor J Addison, including William<br />

Deans, Thomas Deans, Amber Kennett, Rhyal Williams, Natalie<br />

Coad, Henry Sexton, Eloise McGifford and staff members Kristian<br />

Withers and Maria Russell.<br />

Congratulations to all award recipients. Following are the award<br />

recipients recognised and celebrated.<br />
