There was a great buzz at Willowbridge last week as the school hosted its annual prize giving event where pupils were celebrated for their achievements.

On Wednesday, October 19, students were accompanied by their families for the celebratory event which this year was on the theme of 'Reach for the Stars'.

The prize giving was also attended by members of the school's Board of Governors.

Acting vice principal of Willowbridge Joanne Grey said: "We celebrate not only the pupils receiving academic certificates but those pupils in each form class that have, for a variety of reasons, deserved recognition for successes within their form class."

Past pupil of Willowbridge Daniel Martin was welcomed back to the school as guest speaker for the event, and assisted the presentation of the awards.

Academic certificates were awarded to pupils for achievements in OCN Entry Level CCEA occupational studies accredited subjects. There were also form teacher awards, a male and female sports personality award and an art award.
