ABS Presents at Year 12 Graduation at Central Coast Adventist School!

Congratulations were in the air at Central Coast Adventist School (CCAS) for the Year 12 graduation, where Emilie Jackson won the prestigious “Avondale Presidents scholarship” worth $8,000.00 toward her tuition fees for 2020. The process included an application, references and an interview to secure the award. The award was presented by Head of Avondale Business School, Associate Professor Lisa Barnes, who also presented the Business Prize to Isobel Walshaw the student who received the highest marks in the Business Studies unit for 2019.

But the celebrations did not stop there, with the coveted award for “Service/Leadership” which is only awarded to a

limited number of students in Australia, awarded to Tahliana Tikoicina, for her service to school, community and Church. It included a scholarship of $5,000.00 towards tuition at Avondale in 2020.

It was a lovely graduation ceremony, where students reflected on their journey throughout their school life. The students presented roses to their families for all the support they had received in their schooling.

Of the 77 graduates, there were approximately 20 students who had completed the journey from Kindergarten through to year 12 at CCAS. One of these students was Lilly Barnes, daughter of Lisa Barnes, who posed for a quick picture with Mum!

Thanks CCAS for a great day for the students to celebrate the end of their formal schooling, and for the opportunity for Avondale to congratulate and award 3 students in recognition of their efforts. Avondale Business School wishes all Year 12 students the best for exams, and hope to see some of them as our first ever cohort as a University College in 2020.
