A statement from the Govenrment follows below:
Sixteen young people in total achieved the status of Gibraltar Scholar this year.
In addition, a new award, the Director’s Award was presented for the first time. This was given on recommendations of the Head Teachers, to other students who were considered merited special recognition for their work.
Director of Education Keri Scott addressed the students, tighter with parents and other family members, who gathered for the occasion at Westside School, with words of congratulations and encouragement for the future.
Minister for Education John Cortes also congratulated the students, remarking that for Westside and Bayside students it was the first cohort who had gone though their whole education in a mixed gender setting, having entered the secondary schools at the first co-education entry at Year 8, and also the first to have benefitted from the new schools at the Waterport campus.
