On Thursday 7th May, 2015 both teachers and students of the Alwyn A. Richardson Primary School, West End, were joined by invited guests and parents to participate in the ‘Art Egel Awards Ceremony’. The Awards Ceremony is named after a past Principal – who left so many treasured memories with students – Mr Art (Arthur) Egel. The Ceremony is held annually to celebrate and recognise students’ achievements in academics and also for participation in sports.
The Ceremony was opened with a prayer, the singing of the National Song and remarks from both the Principal of the school Ms Marcia Brooks, and Education Officer Susan Smith. Students from the school and the D.O.V.E Centre received certificates, medals and trophies.
In closing, Mrs Marian Egel provided and presented Tia Gumbs, a grade 6 student, with the 2015 ‘Art Egel Award’ for positive attitude and good behaviour. The evening was a success. The school wishes to thank parents for a fabulous presence.
