Saturday saw the culmination of months of hard-work and preparation for this year’s Celebration of success and prize-giving.
The event gave the College the opportunity to recognise and award outstanding students, in both their academic and personal achievements.
As well as a day of celebrations, it is also one of commemoration. As for many students and staff the day represented the last major school event before they left to embark on the next stage of their life.
Included in that number is current Headmaster Gavin Horgan, who will be leaving the school at the end of this term, to be succeeded by Clare Tilley who will take up the reins as Acting Head.
Mr Horgan’s inspirational speech centred on ‘Challenge’ and he encouraged pupils to ‘use their voice’ and to ‘understand their power’.
After the service and presentation, parents and pupils were welcomed to the Quad for lunch and drinks, which included a mouth-watering BBQ.
After lunch, a variety of different performances and events began, including a cricket match and a variety of music, as well as live theatre and some interactive science!
Our 1st XI cricket team took on our SCR XI, winning by 27 runs.
As well as live performances on the day, there were a variety of different Art and Design Technology exhibitions on display in the Churchill Hall, as well as Cream Teas served by some of our Leith’s students.
The Pimm's Bar, located by the 1st Team cricket, was run by the Worksop College Parents’ Association and did a roaring trade!
The day concluded with a performance from Bert’s Big Band and the formal recognition of the 2018 School Leaders, during the ‘Prefects Handover’.
Headmaster, Gavin Horgan concluded:
“The day was a wonderful opportunity to pause with friends and family, to enjoy and to celebrate all that we stand for. It was a time to savour.”
Well done to all our winners!
