Guests were treated to fizz and a few overs of cricket on arrival whilst one of our student bands, Morning After, played a set. This was followed by a dinner and speeches by the Head and OP Destiny Rose-Forde Kennedy. The Head thanked everyone for their support and updated on the school year's successes including winning Dance Live, various sporting achievements and academic accolades. Destiny, who left PGS in 2022, shared how receiving a bursary provided her with opportunities she never thought possible, including going on to study Law at the University of Oxford.

Thank you to everyone who has donated to the school this year, we are so appreciative of your support.

Next year we celebrate 10 years of the William Smith Fund – stay tuned for more exciting events and celebrations!
