The Ōtaki College Year 7 to 10 Prizegiving was held on Friday 6 December. This event was a celebration of the wonderful ­achievements of our younger students over the course of 2019.  A number of Special Awards were presented on the day, including the Year 9 and 10 Top Scholar awards which were awarded to  Archie O'Sullivan (Year 9) and  jointly to Kate Hall and Freya Lansbury (Year 10).   Also presented were the XŌtaki Alumni Trust Jubilee ­Scholarships valued at $500 each and the Jubilee Cup. These are awarded to two Year 10 students who consistently display our R.O.A.R values and who contribute to the life of the College. This year these scholarships were awarded to Kaia Pollock and Jessica Thomsen.  Both girls epitomise the values of Ōtaki College and are fully involved in the wider life of the College.
