Lauren McKinstry of S6 was presented with the ‘Elizabeth Hughes Memorial Trophy for Endeavouring in Drama’ on Friday in honour of the late Elizabeth Hughes our Drama teacher who sadly passed away earlier this year.   This was presented to Lauren by Elizabeth’s partner Tracey who kindly donated the award to the school.

Lauren was delighted to be the recipient of the award and said “Receiving the Elizabeth Hughes Memorial Trophy for Endeavour in Drama has been the highlight of my school life so far.   Miss Hughes was a wonderful teacher and woman who always encouraged me to excel in Performing Arts.    I am so grateful and honoured to be the first person to receive this award and I will be forever thankful to Miss Hughes for everything she has done for me”.
