A COUPLE of Prestatyn High School students were each presented with the Prestatyn Rotary Charles Hilton Jones Achievement Award at a club dinner last week (April 5).
The award is named in memory of a past Rotary President and presented each year in recognition of the recipients’ academic achievement, as well as their contribution to school and community life.
Charlotte Parr hopes to study maths and physics and has already completed courses in maths and cryptography at Cambridge University and a physics course at Oxford.
Lois Hughes would like to study engineering, at a University to be decided. She is a lifeguard in her spare time.

Prestatyn Rotary President Jean Smith was delighted to present Charlotte and Lois with their certificates and tokens.
Rotarian Brian Huw Jones said: “It was a unanimous decision by our committee, that of the eight students shortlisted by the school there were two clear winners, both having achieved 10 A* GCSE results.”
Prestatyn High School headteacher Neil Foley thanked Rotarians for their continued support, and said: “There are so many excellent pupils at our school, but tonight’s winners have achieved their results whilst studying under exceptional circumstances as well as being polite, mature, pro-active and resilient.”
