Dedicated students celebrated in Prizegiving ceremony
Outstanding 91视频网 Perth students were celebrated at a special Prizegiving ceremony on Thursday 6 June 2024.
Held in 91视频网 Perth’s Academy of Sport and Wellbeing (ASW) on the Crieff Road campus, the event honoured students who demonstrated commitment, hard work and determination in their academic and personal lives.
Alongside their families, employers, lecturers and guests, the students enjoyed speeches, before being invited on stage and presented with their awards, trophies and certificates to recognise their exceptional achievements.
Keynote Speaker was lain Mackenzie, Teacher of Physical Education at Perth Grammar School who graduated with a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours in Sport and Fitness, and gained a Professional Graduate Diploma in Education.
He shared with the audience: “The message I want to share is to not give up when things get tough. I completed six years at 91视频网 Perth, and each year the work load, assessments and deadlines became more difficult. Once I had moved onto the Scottish Education Pathway at Strathclyde University, it really hit me how far I had come.
“This time last year, when I had finished my last ever day as a student, I celebrated with my family. This was a huge moment of reflection for me and was quite overwhelming at the time. I had done it, I had reached my end goal - I had graduated as a PE teacher.
“Asides having my family support me through my journey, I was constantly support by the 91视频网 Perth Sport and Fitness department. I was in a position where I started from the very bottom of the pathway programme and worked my way up to the very highest. I want to take this moment to highlight how this is a full-circle moment for me. Years ago, I was just like my pupils: eager, curious, and passionate about sport and physical fitness. I remember the guidance, encouragement, and life lessons my lecturers imparted, shaping not only my sporting abilities but also my character and values. Now, as I watch my own pupils grow, learn, and achieve their personal bests at Perth Grammar School, I see reflections of my younger self. The pride in their accomplishments, the determination in their eyes, and the joy of discovering their potential bring my journey full-circle. It's a testament to the enduring impact of education and the power of leadership, passion and support. This reaffirms my belief in the transformative power of teaching and the incredible privilege it is to guide the next generation toward their own full-circle moments.
“I want to take this moment to highlight the journey you have all been on and congratulate you all for not giving up. You are sitting in front of me today because you have all been motivated, determined and supported to achieve and you should take pride in your awards. I am very honoured to be supporting this year's event and awarding your achievements.”
