“This has been an exceptional 18 months for everyone involved with the school and I am full of admiration for the way the students have maintained their high aspirations, kept a clear focus on their learning and persevered with optimism and enthusiasm.
“I am grateful to the staff who have had to undertake a mammoth task in devising and delivering assessments and collating supporting evidence.
“All of this would not have been possible without the support of the parents and carers who have worked with us throughout the year to ensure stability and a sense of purpose. Our students can feel rightfully proud of what they have achieved in the face of unprecedented challenges. We wish all the students and their families every success for the future.”
