Childers

Childers House would like to extend a MASSIVE congratulations to the graduating class of 2018. There are some absolute superstars amongst this group, who have represented Childers over the years in Sport, House and School Leadership, Public Speaking and Debating, Lions Youth of the Year, Musicals, High School Exchanges overseas and much more. Many have had to overcome times of adversity during their schooling at Warrnambool College, and they have all made it through to the other side as amazing human beings, ready to take on what the world has to offer outside of these school walls, and we wish them the very best.

Merri

There has been a changing of the guard among Merri folk recently. Our year 12’s have departed formal schooling, and have passed the responsibility of leading Merri onto the current year 11’s. On behalf of all of Merri we wish all 41 school leavers the best with their exam period, and hope they use the skills they have been crafting for the past 6 years at Warrnambool College both in the short and long term. Hopefully they enjoyed their:

  • Farewell at Merri’s whole house Assembly (With their award)!
  • Farewell breakfast Wednesday morning (Pancakes)
  • Whole school farewell this morning (Guard of Honour)

We wish them all the best with upcoming exams and whatever the future brings!
