Year 10/11 Optima Awards

This term we have celebrated our Year 10 and 11 high achieving students at our OPTIMA Awards Ceremonies recognising and acknowledging their outstanding achievements from Semester 1 2021. At the Optima Awards we acknowledge excellence in Academic, Improvement, Sporting, Cultural and Community Service. At the Year 11 Awards the cohort was introduced to their 2022 student council representatives. Congratulations to all students that received an Optima Award.

  

Junior Academic Awards Night

Last week we hosted the second Junior Sec Academic Awards Night. It was a successful evening with over 70 students recognised and around 200 parents and staff attending. Year-long subject awards, in both core and academic excellence, were presented as well as overall academic achievement awards for the top 10 students in each year. Special awards as traditionally have been presented were included. Feedback on the event was good with the suggestion that recognition of students doing a Variable Progression Pathway (VPP) be included for next time. Prefects have been selected and acknowledged for each year level with Year 7 to be chosen early in 2022.

  

Year 12 Graduation

Congratulations to the Class of 2021!

Our Year 12’s looked gorgeous in their gowns and sensational in their suits. The red carpet was awash with colour, sparkle, energy and excitement for our Year 12 Graduation and Formal at the Gold Coast Convention Centre!  It was so lovely to be able to spend the afternoon welcoming our Graduates to their night of nights. Mr Kennedy and Ms I’Anson welcomed students on the red carpet as they departed their cars. From party buses to limos, Teslas to Combis, our graduates arrived in style. After climbing the stairs, the flashes began and the live stream interviews were beamed around the world. The Graduation ceremony saw student performers wow the audience, our graduates grace the stage, receiving their certificates and then our Student Leaders delivered their speeches. It was a beautiful opportunity for family and friends to celebrate the milestone with their students, thirteen years in the making.

After farewelling their care givers, students headed next door for dinner and dancing. The 2021 lights and balloon display, set up by ‘The Balloonery Gold Coast’ provided the most amazing backdrop for photos.

Attached are some photos by our official photographer, Tango Photography.  Students can download and purchase photos from Tango’s online gallery. Our teachers also took a few photos, which can also be viewed in the second Gallery. Students and families are also welcome to view and download the Graduation livestream via the PBC Facebook page and on YouTube.

 Thank you also to the Gold Coast Bulletin who also was taking snaps on the Red Carpet of our glamorous students' arrival. You can view the photos with a Gold Coast Bulletin digital subscription.

We wish our Class of 2021 the most wonderful futures. You are prepared, you are ready, you are amazing young men and women who we are very proud of. May your futures be bright, happy and healthy. Congratulations!
