During Assembly today (19 September) two students, Noah Wright and Jackson Say received the ADFA Education Award. The Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) Education Award is presented annually to Year 12 students in recognition of leadership potential, and academic and sporting achievements exhibited during Year 11. The award comprises a tablet device (or similar) and certificate for you, along with a plaque of recognition for your school. There are up to 50 awards available on behalf of the Navy, Army and Air Force, which will be presented to suitable applicants who have applied for entry to ADFA.
Later on, Defence students were recognised with the commissioning of special badges that they wear to represent their ties. We were joined by a number of parents as we came together in the Edmund Rice Centre to celebrate the Defence families and have a light lunch.
