St. Michael's School held their annual Sword and Shield Academic Awards ceremony on the evening of October 23, honouring the achievements of students during the 2011-2012 school year.  Principal Mr. Don Kuchison acted as Master of Ceremonies for the event, which began with a prayer.

Principal Kuchison said he had been impressed to see the number of students being awarded.  "For a small school we have a lot of students who focus on academics and make academics very important in their lives, and that is reflected in your awards for this evening."

Awards were presented in several categories, including Subject Area, Religious and Christian Practice, Honor Roll and Principal's List, Highest Academic, and Grade 12 awards.

Following the ceremony and a benediction those in attendance were invited to mingle in the lunchroom, where a selection of delicious desserts was offered.
