FINAL WEEKS OF YEAR 12

WOW. What an awesome way to end the term and wrap up our year 12's final few weeks of school! It is a bittersweet moment to farwell the beautiful cohort I have witnessed flourish over the last 6 years, but myself and your teachers are so proud of the wonderful young adults you all are. After a busy year, our year wanted to have some fun and make the most of their last week, creating lots of memories for themselves, their teachers and the entire school.

BBQ FUNDRAISER & STAFF V'S STUDENT VOLLEYBALL GAME

Thursday of week 9, we hosted an all-school BBQ fundraiser, the music was booming, the vibes were awesome and the sausage sandwiches were delicious. We followed this with a staff vs student volleyball game, there’s no doubt our budding volleyballers in the staff are just as competitive as the student body.

DRESS AS YOUR 5 YEAR OLD SELF

Last Friday saw a new tradition, ‘Dress as your 5 year old self’, where students had to find a photo from when they were 5 and recreate their inner child.

Fun leads to formalities, as a jam-packed week 10 began with our annual Year 12 Breakfast Tuesday morning, finishing the night with our liturgy and awards presentation. Congratulations to all of the award recipients (see Principals report for photos and award recipients), you should be so proud of your unwavering efforts and achievements in various areas; I mean it when I say I wish I could give everyone an award. You all deserve it.
