Congratulations to all our prize winners and thank you to the Campbell Community for coming together to celebrate our college, our staff and most importantly our pupils!

Chair of Governors, Mr. Andrew Wilson (7177) delivered a compelling speech focusing on the essence of being a Campbellian and the school's commitment to developing the "whole boy." He emphasised that a true Campbellian is characterised not just by academic achievement, but by a well-rounded character. His speech highlighted the significance of community and collaboration among students, staff, and parents, which he credited as the foundation of the school’s success.

Headmaster, Mr. Robert Robinson presented a report of the year; a substantial portion of Mr. Robinson’s speech was dedicated to reiterating the core values and educational philosophy that underpin Campbell College. He spoke passionately about how the college aims to prepare students not just for academic success, but for meaningful and impactful lives.

Chief Guest, Mr. Ben Lowry (7500) thanked the College for the opportunity and urged students not to waste time, to follow their passions and to remain curious, highlighting the significance of finding personal fulfilment.

The afternoon featured exceptional musical performances by two talented students, Sungho (Year 12, School) and Caleb (Year 8, Price’s). Sungho's solo piano performance was deeply moving and embodied the emotional spectrum of Chopin's work, leaving a lasting impression. Caleb's violin solo was equally enchanting, as his graceful and emotive style brought the piece to life. However, the real showstopper was their duet performing Ernest Bloch's "Nigun from Baal Shem." Together, they created a stunning harmony that left the audience in awe. It was a performance that will be remembered for years to come. You can watch the video below to witness these young musicians' extraordinary talents!

Head Prefect, Tom Robinson concluded the presentations by reflecting on his journey and the collective experiences of his peers. He spoke about the strong sense of community and the lifelong friendships forged at Campbell College. Tom emphasised the importance of upholding the school's traditions and values, urging his fellow students to continue striving for excellence and to support one another. His speech was a heartfelt tribute to the unity and spirit that define the Campbellian experience.
