The ceremony was attended by the Mayor, Paula Freitas, the President of the Municipal Assembly, José Marques, councilors Luis Paixão, Rute Silva, and Dora Guerreiro, as well as Carla Cunha, Director of the local School Grouping, who presented the awards.
Among the 6th-grade students, the awardees were Catarina Esperança José Duarte, Lucas Miguel Duarte Martins, Ronaldo da Veiga Fernandes, and Carlota Maria Rosado. The 9th-grade students recognized were Alexandre Shevchenko and Mafalda Furtado Baptista.
Each student received a €250 FNAC gift card, along with a trophy and a certificate of academic merit. Additionally, each awardee was given a complimentary admission to Zoomarine, courtesy of the theme park.
