During this glamorous event, Gr 11 learner Kabura Abubakar was awarded the Tommie of the Year award.
According to the principal, Vanessa Kachelhoffer, the Tommie of the Year award is the school’s highest award and thus awards the greatest caution and objectivity.
“Candidates’ achievements are taken into consideration in the various spheres of the school life as reflected in the allocations made for the year. Only participation within the school mortgage is taken into consideration and any learner in the school may apply for this trophy.”
The candidate is assessed on only the past year’s achievements in academics, sport, culture, service councils and leadership. The learner must perform well in at least three of the categories.
