The parents who attended the awards ceremony explained what they felt. Mr Ngan said, “I was really quite happy to see Dylan win his award. Since Years 7 and 8 I have seen Dylan develop skills, he is happy to get involved and try new things. He is now very independent and self- reliant and his leadership skills have grown.”
