It is my great pleasure to announce that Tayla Merton, Bryden Cracknell, Deanna Minogue, Maria Raptis, Abbey Wade and Lily Shorrock have achieved Platinum level at Murrumburrah High School.
Each of these students has made their own unique impact here.

Deanna always behaves exceptionally well, working constructively in class and completing homework promptly. She wears her school uniform with pride and is a student well known for her support of junior students in need. Deanna’s strengths lie in the performing arts where she has participated in CAPA night as well as recently helping to organise the event. Her teachers praise her positivity and maturity and suggest that she is a natural role model for junior students at the school, in addition to being an advocate and support person. Her constructive approach to her education is seen in her hardworking attitude. Deanna has set herself big goals in her education as she embarks on her HSC year, but never loses sight of the big picture seeking to continue to spread positivity through the school.

Her teachers universally praise her positivity and responsibility in all aspects of her education. She has a mature and respectful relationship with all members of staff, from the principal down as well as the whole student body.
