In returning to tradition, Speech Day was held in the Blackthorn Hall. In keeping with tradition it was a nice warm day....but there was a breeze to keep the audience a little cooler. The National Anthem was sung as the Academic Procession entered the hall. After a welcome by the College Captains, Morgan Rockley and Harrison Phillott, the Junior School Captains, Ned Marshall and Emma Zischke, introduced the Chairman of the Board, Mr Chris Hesp. Mr Hesp praised the direction BTC was heading in under the guidance of Mr Fairbairn and briefly outlined the future vision of the board. Mr Fairbairn reported on the many and varied successes of the BTC students over the past year.
Sean Tria amazed the crowd with his outstanding piano solo followed by the Senior Specialist Vocal Group, ably lead by vocal coach Ms Tammy Wilson. After a visual presentation of the Junior School- a Year in Review, the Awards and prizes were presented.
The audience sang the College Song, Blackheath Hymn and the Thornburgh College Hymn , with the Secondary School slide show showing the busy year the students had.
Outgoing College Captains, Morgan and Harrison, had there last duty as captains in presenting their speeches, before the 2014 College Leadership team was announced. Congratulations to:-
