So Proud

St John's had their award night last night, it was great.

BOY some of those kids are so talented, 2 girls sang and their voices bought me almost to tears, and then to finish the night, 2 young boys one on trombone and one on guitar, sang and played, I thought, oh god, here we go, but no, it was FANTASTIC. I'm trying to find them on You Tube now, apparently they are quite the 'stars!!".

Cam received an award for Application. Which means, he has applied himself to ALL his subjects this year and was only 2 marks away from getting a Bronze award. I was so very proud as he walked up on stage in front of what must have been a crowd of 1000 or more, the auditorium was filled to capacity. It was a great night even if it did run for over 3 hours and by the end of it, we were tired of clapping. Made it worse that Cam had his award presented first so we had to sit through it all. But that didn't really matter, It was great to hear and see all the kids get their awards and hear what they have achieved.

If we ever had doubts about sending Cam to this school, then last night would have dispelled all of them (we haven't had any doubts though). Watching him interact with his peers was fantastic, he always used to cling to us in a crowded situation and last night, we were still looking for him at 10pm! When they read out his achievements, I nearly burst a blood vessel I was so proud! Naturally, I forgot the camera, but that's ok, Cam has assured me there will be other awards in future years!

Who would have thought, this time last year, that by today, he would be where he is today..

Cam, You've come so far, battled so much and WON, Dad and I are so very proud of you!!
