Prize Giving Is The Culmination Of Another Exceptional Crackley Hall Year

Crackley was delighted to welcome a number of special guests to the celebrations, including Deputy Chair of Trustees, Richard Harcourt, and in the evening, Foundation Principal, Ed Hester.

Headmaster, Mr Duigan, gave thanks to the many who give so much to the school in so many ways. He challenged every boy and every girl to draw inspiration from those around them. He encouraged all the children to strive to do their best, to live in the moment, never limit themselves and to celebrate the success of others.

Crackley Hall’s pupil leaders gave their reports speaking about their time in office and their Crackley journeys, and the memories and friends they will take with them as they move on to secondary school.

And then there were the awards, book awards for progress, effort and diligence, school spirit and kindness, contribution to school life and achievement. Followed by cups and shields and trophies galore, all recognising the diligence, effort and excellence that abounds at Crackley Hall.

It was difficult to pick winners for this year’s Special Awards as there were many worthy potential recipients, so it was with great pride that Mr Duigan announced the following:

• St Joseph’s School Spirit Award – Ethan M and Thomas K
• Zanyi Chalmers Award – Will H
• Scholarship Award – Beatrice C
• Sister Mary Patrick Trophy for Caring – Niamh B
• PTA Crackley Hall Shield – Hugo R

As the ceremonies concluded, all Crackley pupils were encouraged to reflect on their achievements this year, as prize winner or not, all should be rightfully proud.

At the evening ceremony, Mrs Horan announced the new Head Boy, Chace, and Head Girl, Sloane, and Deputy Head Boy, Oscar, and Deputy Head Girl, Ashleigh, who proudly took to the stage to receive their badges of office from Mr Duigan.

The ceremony closed with a stirring rendition of the Foundation Hymn Here I Am Lord.
