Brisbane Awards ran very smoothly again this year in a wonderful new venue at Robina!!. A huge thank you to all the teachers that supported in the preparation & their voluntary work during the event. These events would not run without our Volunteers!!

Congratulations to all teachers & students for your time & effort put into examinations, even for those continuing into December. I am sure all the Examiners will be ready for a well deserved break. A huge thank you to everyone that supported the Sydney Awards in September.

A huge thank you to Jaruganya Amesbutr (Gye) for her help in co-ordinating Thailand & her contact with the teachers. Examinations were held in Bangkok (BK), Chiangmai (CM) & Chiangrai (CR).
