MTGS Prize Giving 2016
Merchant Taylors’ Girls’ School enjoyed a fabulous celebration of the previous academic year’s achievements at the annual Prize Giving Ceremony hosted at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on Friday 18th November.
Commemorating a fantastic year academically, the girls were congratulated on outstanding performances at both GCSE and A level. Parents, guardians and staff were thanked for all their dedication and support. The girls were also rewarded for their commitments to the wide variety of extra-curricular activities on offer at Merchants. These activities help develop the pupils as rounded individuals and in many circumstances provide much needed support for the school’s community.
The ceremony was fuelled with inspiration as the pupils heard advice from the Head Girls, who eloquently told their peers to take advantage of everything their school has to offer. They reported on the variety of opportunities many had enjoyed, from the sporting and musical successes to the fantastic school trips that the girls are offered. Particularly fitting, Guest Speaker and former assisted place pupil Dr Leanne Eveson (nee Burgess) gave the girls an important message of “always make the most of every opportunity” and motivated the audience with her story of her own successes as a Medical Officer at RAF Marham.
The service was enjoyed by many distinguished guests including the Mayor of Sefton, the Master and Clerk of the Merchant Taylors’ Company, parents and friends of the school. Former staff and pupils were also warmly welcomed back to enjoy the event.
