5 YEAR OLD SELF

Last Friday, our Year 12s brought a burst of childhood joy to the school by dressing as their five-year-old selves. This playful tradition has become a much-loved annual event for our graduating students, and it was fantastic to see such enthusiastic participation across the cohort.


FAREWELL BREAKFAST

On Tuesday morning, our Year 12 students gathered for a farewell breakfast, sharing laughs and memories with their peers and teachers. It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect, relax, and celebrate the journey they've taken together.

GRADUATION ASSEMBLY

Wednesday marked a memorable milestone as we celebrated the final Graduation Assembly for our Year 12 Class of 2025. The cohort had their PALS rolls called for the last time, and received their reports and merit certificates in recognition of their achievements.
Congratulations to the 2025 House Cup champions — MacKillop House! With an impressive 10,575 points, they’ve claimed the title for the first time in 20 years. The energy and excitement from MacKillop, in particular house captain Mitch Exton was truly unforgettable as they lifted the cup once again!
To our graduating class: we wish you all the very best for the upcoming HSC and the exciting journey ahead. We are immensely proud of each and every one of you - your resilience, growth, and spirit have left a lasting mark on our school community.
