The first ten students in place of every level and their respective streams as well as the students placed in the first five places of every class were presented with small trophies to congratulate and acknowledge their efforts in maintaining their grades as well as a form of encouragement to continue working hard and chasing their dreams in the following year. Awards were also presented to ten students from Jr1, Jr2 and Sr1 respectively for their massive improvement in terms of academic results for this year.
