Pupils in Airdrie Academy have been recognised for their achievements over the 2016/17 session in two ceremonies.

The junior prize giving took place in the school and was a great success.  The event recognised both academic achievements and involvement in the wider life of the school.

The Senior Prize Giving Ceremony held at New Wellwynd Parish Church was another wonderful event, celebrating pupil successes.

The whole school community came together to congratulate pupils on their successes.  Pupils were awarded prizes to recognise academic endaveours as well as sporting pursuits and involvement in the wider life of the school and local community.

Rev. Robbie Hamilton led the proceedings, and was supported by his fellow school chaplains.  Head Teacher Martin Anderson addressed the congregation and prizes were distributed to a large number of pupils in S4-6 from the last academic session.

School Captain Matthew Paul and his Vice Captains Rhea Currie and Lyndsey Rideout from session 2016-17 made very profound speeches detailing their time at Airdrie Academy and had the opportunity to pass over the duties to current School Captain Eman Qasim and Vice Captains Rebecca Morgan and Katie Laing.

Huge congratulations to Georgia Watson who was presented with the School Dux Award and to Katie Laing who was Proxime Accessit.

Performances from the Performing Arts Department were of a very high standard.

A special thanks to sponsors ENGIE, Guidis, Cairnhill Structures, Albert Bartlett and Mary Wilson Flowers.
