On Friday the 27th of November we welcomed 150 guests made up of students, staff, alumni, industry partners, family, and friends to L’Aqua in Darling Harbour for a night of celebration. In a year unlike any other, it was truly impressive to look across the room and see it filled with real people, and not just viewing on a computer screen, enjoying each-others company, and celebrating our achievements as a college and community.
Not only was this year’s event a celebration of those outstanding individuals but also a celebration of all our students, who are not only dedicated and hard working but have also shown their resilience, adaptability, and patience to succeed despite all that 2020 has thrown at us.
In 2020 we presented 23 students with awards and introduced 3 new awards in partnership Macarthur FC, NSW Rugby League and Wests Tigers NRL. We are very grateful for the connection we hold with our industry partners, the positive impact, and opportunities these have provided our students. We look forward to presenting these awards for years to come.
Congratulations to every ACPE student and all award winners for a huge 2020. We are looking forward to seeing what we will achieve in 2021.
