Mutley Baptist Church proved to be a great new venue for Plymouth College’s Lower School Speech Day. As well as being walking distance from the school, the video screening system meant that nobody missed out on the proceedings.
The prize-giving event for Years 7 to 10 welcomed Young Librarian of the Year, Emma Sherriff, as guest of honour. As well as form prizes, pupils were rewarded for effort and excellence in art, music, drama, science, sport and outdoor pursuits.
With dance and choral performances, the annual event also saw addresses from the new Chairman of Governors, Chris Robinson, the Headmaster, Dr Simon Wormleighton, and Heads of School, Yervand Agobiani and Celia Hayes.
“Speech Day is an opportunity to recognize achievement and effort across a very broad range of subjects and activities”, said Dr Wormleighton. “Whilst the event is very much about celebrating the success of the prize winners, the review of the year by the Heads of School shows just how much more goes on in our school and I’m very proud of that.”
A Senior Awards Evening is held in December.
