This year, due to the current Covid-19 restrictions, Gallen CS's annual Academic Awards ceremony took place in a more subdued environment but nonetheless there was plenty of excitement as recent school-leavers returned to mark their successes.

As well as honouring their recent alumni, the school were also able to present individual awards to a number of students.

The awards acknowledge the tremendous achievements of the students across the whole spectrum in education in the school.
