Now in its tenth year, KCETB’s Student of the Year Award recognises personal and academic achievement and is awarded to the student in each of its 13 post-primary schools who has contributed the most during their time in secondary education. Each student received a specially commissioned solid silver medal engraved with their name, the award title and the name of their school and a printed citation from their principal outlining the student’s achievements and contribution during their school journey.
