2021 Academic Assembly
26 February
On Thursday 25 February 2021 we welcomed back members of the Class of 2020 as we celebrated their academic excellence throughout 2020 at the annual Academic Assembly.
It was a wonderful affirmation of the student’s hard work, dedication and perseverance displayed throughout what was a very challenging year - 2020.
Our 2021 College Captains, Maya Tolliday and Shaun Leonard were the MC’s for the evening, and we were excited to welcome back our College Dux Grace Young-Harvey as she addressed the audience and shared some beautiful memories of her time at Damascus as well as providing an insight as to how she achieves academic excellence.
The Damascus College String Ensemble entertained the audience by performing ‘The Black Swan’ by Trevor J Addison, including William Deans, Thomas Deans, Amber Kennett, Rhyal Williams, Natalie Coad, Henry Sexton, Eloise McGifford and staff members, Kristian Withers and Maria Russell.
Congratulations to all award recipients.
