"We gather today to celebrate the incredible achievements, efforts and spirit that makes Bass Coast College such a special place to learn and work," the campuses' new Principal said.
Awards were given for both academic effort and excellence, general contribution to the school community, and specific achievement in key learning areas. Ms Gill also highlighted the school's senior female netball team, who this year took home the College's first School Sport Victoria State Championship.
"These moments remind us not only of the talent in our school, but also the joy that comes from working and celebrating together. As we look ahead, I encourage each of you to keep striving in your goals, whether it's on the field, helping a friend, or trying something outside of your comfort zone," Ms Gill said.
"Let's take a moment to celebrate each other. Be proud of what you've accomplished, and let's continue to build a positive culture of learning and respect."
