Thursday afternoon was the perfect opportunity for students at Kindersley Composite School to shine. The school hosted their KCS Awards Ceremony to recognize those students whom have excelled in various fields throughout the school year.

The ceremonies started at 1:45 PM, and recipients were asked to arrive in semi-formal attire.

Students, family members, staff, and other members of the community were present for the awards show. After the recipients were recognized and received their awards, photos were taken to capture their moment of excellency.

A perfect way to celebrate the skills and talents of Kindersley's high school students as the end of the 2015-2016 draws nearer, and grade 12 students prepare for graduation and the next steps of their lives.

Below the photos is the full list of award winners from this year's awards ceremony.
