YEAR 12 NEWS

What a busy and rewarding term it has been for Year 12. With only one term and two weeks of study remaining before their graduation at the end of Term 3, the finish line is well and truly in sight. I take this opportunity to remind students of the importance of being present at school from 8:30am to 2:55pm each day. There is no flexible attendance—students are expected to attend for the full duration of the school day.

FOUNDATION DAY

This term has been filled with memorable moments and valuable experiences. A standout highlight was undoubtedly their final Foundation Day, capped off by a fantastic performance by Year 12 during the Talent Quest.

BISHOP MASCORD VISIT 

Recently, our Year 12 student leaders had the privilege of spending a special session with the Bishop, reflecting on their journey as leaders within a Catholic school community. This was a meaningful opportunity for them to pause, share, and consider the responsibility and growth that has come with their leadership roles.

Throughout the session, the Bishop engaged the students in deep discussion around servant leadership, faith in action, and the importance of compassion, integrity, and humility in guiding others. The students reflected on the ways they have contributed to the life of the school, supported their peers, and grown in their understanding of what it means to lead in the spirit of Christ.

We are incredibly proud of our Year 12 leaders and the example they continue to set for the entire school community. As they prepare to enter their final term, this time with the Bishop has provided a moment of encouragement and spiritual nourishment to carry them forward.

Reflection from Bishop Visit - Chloe Daniel

Our time with the Bishop was greatly appreciated, and one to be grateful for. We were invited into a deep conversation with the Bishop about our future plans, what mark we want to leave and questions about his time as a Bishop. I am extremely thankful for the time I got to spend with the Bishop, as it allowed me to reflect profoundly on my time as a leader in a Catholic school.

'God's gift to you is your life. What you become is your gift to God!'
