Awards were presented to over 100 students who were recognised for their academic achievements and progress, as well as special recognition for students who have been inspirational.
Family and friends were welcomed into the Quay Hall before Mr Higginson, Deputy Headteacher, opened the proceedings.
Mr Higginson stated, ‘Many of you in the room tonight had demonstrated the character sets that are required to achieve success, resilience, motivation, an eagerness to learn and better yourself. Your use of those skills is the reason you have been nominated to receive an award for the Highest Academic Achievement and or Greatest Progress in a subject’.
Mr Higginson added, ‘We at Newquay Tretherras are proud of your commitment and hard work, as I’m sure your parents and carers are too. Do not underestimate the positive impact you make to your peers and younger students around you on a day-to-day basis. Congratulations to all of you on your awards this evening. We look forward to working with you in September and build upon your successful GCSE journey’.
