The night was a wonderful way to celebrate the achievements of so many students.
A highlight of the night was the address given by guest speaker Dr Gina Kourt a former Nyngan High School student. Dr Kourt currently works as a consultant Oculoplastic Surgeon at Sydney Eye Hospital and St Vincent’s Hospital.
More than 300 awards were presented on the evening recognising achievement in sport, academic performance, effort, attendance, NAPLAN results and dance just to name a few.
Chairpersons for the evening were 2015 school captains Mitchell Harley and Zoe Sibbald along with vice-captains Cassie Bartley and Luke Wye.
