The "Special Awards" all come with a cash prize. Mrs. Bekkers said "It was incredible to continually hear our school's students called up for prizes. I was scrambling trying to write down names/prizes and take photos - Sacred Heart names kept getting called! I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say we won close to half the prizes."
So well done! Congratulations!
