Swanage Rotary Sponsor 2013 Swanage Middle School Awards
Tue, Jul 2nd 2013 at 12:00 am - 12:00 am
Swanage Rotary has sponsored the Swanage Middle School Awards for many years and so it was with mixed emotions that the final awards evening was held this year prior to the school closing.
On behalf of Swanage Rotary, Keith Fisher acted as compere for both the music competition and also the specific subject awards. "Despite having been involved with the school for many years, I am always amazed at the quality of the work produced by the young people" said Keith.
Head David Pratten was quick to thank Rotary for their support. "It's great the an organisation like Rotary support our school and young people in the community" said David.
