From the 

Head of  Senior School

Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,

As we reach the end of another remarkable year in the Senior School, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the achievements, challenges, and growth we have shared as a community. Each year brings with it new possibilities and unexpected moments, and 2025 has been no exception. Our students, staff, and families have once again shown the resilience, positivity, and commitment that underpin the strength of our school.

To our students: thank you for the energy, curiosity, and character you bring to our classrooms and co-curricular spaces each day. Whether you discovered a new interest, deepened your commitment to a passion, or pushed yourself to achieve a personal best, your efforts are seen and valued. I am particularly proud of the way you have supported one another, embraced leadership opportunities, and lived out the values of our school.

We also acknowledge our Year 12 cohort, who have led with maturity and spirit throughout their final year. Their contribution to the culture of the Senior School has been significant, and we wish them well as they embark on the next chapter of their lives. We look forward to hearing of their future successes and warmly welcome them into our alumni community.

To our teaching and support staff: thank you for the professionalism, care, and expertise you bring to your work. Your dedication to nurturing both the academic and pastoral growth of our students is deeply appreciated.

I would also like to extend heartfelt thanks to our parents and caregivers. Your partnership, encouragement, and unwavering support play a vital role in shaping the success of our students and the warmth of our school culture. Whether you attended events, volunteered your time, cheered from the sidelines, or offered guidance at home, your involvement strengthens our entire community. Our school thrives because of the generosity, trust, and shared commitment of the families who walk alongside us.

Beyond the classroom, this year has been filled with achievements across academics, the arts, sport, leadership, and service. These accomplishments are not only a testament to individual talent but also to the vibrant, supportive environment that we collectively foster.

As we look ahead to the coming year, we do so with optimism. Planning is already well underway for new initiatives, programs, and opportunities that will continue to enrich the Senior School experience.

I wish all families a joyful Christmas break and a safe, restful holiday. Thank you for another inspiring year. I look forward to welcoming you back in the new year and continuing our work together in guiding our young people towards their best.

Warm regards,

Alicia Michielsen
