Prize Giving

This year’s Annual Wyvern Prize Giving for students in Years 3 -6 will take place in Centenary Hall on Thursday 6 December at 9:00am. Students are asked to meet their class teachers at the Senior School in the area outside the Music Center next to Centenary Hall no later than 8:30am wearing their summer uniform minus black cap. I am sorry that due to the building work at the Senior School we will not be able to host our normal morning tea this year; I do apologise for this. However, there will be an opportunity for parents to say their farewells to staff after the ceremony in the area outside Centenary Hall.

Whilst we take the opportunity to award a number of prizes for outstanding achievement (categories listed below), Prize Giving is primarily an opportunity for the Wyvern community to mark and celebrate a most positive year. As such, this event is a compulsory activity for all students in Years 3-6. The end of the ceremony marks the official start of the summer break.
