Awards Evening Pupils, parents and teachers celebrated Great Torrington School leavers 2012 at the annual Awards Reunion at Great Torrington School on 13 th November 2012. It was a night to remember for all who attended, with over 90 awards on the night. Anita Hardy, Assistant Headteacher who retired this summer presented the prizes and spoke to pupils about their achievements and how lucky they are to receive a good education in life. Anita Hardy has taken up a new role in her retirement as trustee of Edukid. Many of the young people in this year group have participated in fundraising activities throughout their school life to give a chance for children in Uganda to receive a good education. Anita said that they should be very proud of their own education and the gift that they have also given over the years to Edukid. Anita finished her speech with some pictures of her recent visit to Uganda. Mr Bill O Donnell and Ms Deborah Halesworth presented the prizes for academic achievement, contribution to the school and community and for special categories such as perseverance in the face of adversity and outstanding GCSE achievement.
