There were also Governor and Principal’s awards recognising students who are excellent role models and those that contribute hugely to college life.

Students at WVC have been able to take part in a large range of activities this week.

Meanwhile, Year 10 headed for the Aqua Park having a go on the inflatable obstacle course and trying their hand at Wakeboarding.
