Proserpine State High School proudly celebrated its 63rd Annual Awards Ceremony on Tuesday night, recognising outstanding student achievement across academia, sport, cultural and leadership categories.
The prestigious event is a highlight on the school calendar, bringing together students, families, staff, and community members to honour the hard work, dedication, and success of its young people.

Principal Don McDermid congratulated all award recipients and commended the collective achievements of the student body.
“Our Annual Awards Ceremony is a wonderful tradition that celebrates the excellence and character of our students. It’s also a reflection of the supportive community that stands behind them — parents, staff, and community members who make our school such a special place,” he said.
As the school marks more than six decades of celebrating excellence, the 63rd Annual Awards Ceremony stands as a proud reminder of its enduring values — achievement, integrity, and community spirit.
