Farewell, Year 12s

Year 12 Celebration Day is one of the most special days on our school calendar. Parents, staff and students come together to mark the last day of classes and reflect on 13 years of schooling. Students take the time to thank the teachers and staff who have supported them along the way. At Friday’s final assembly, they also acknowledged the important role their families played in helping them achieve their VCE.

When the assembly ended, staff and families formed a guard of honour as our Year 12 students symbolically “exited” the school. It was a very special farewell, and I couldn’t be prouder of the respect, gratitude and humility our Year 12s showed throughout the day.

To our Year 11 and 12 students with exams coming up, I encourage you to study hard and do everything you can to perform at your best.

School Performance Report: High

Every year, Victorian government schools are assessed against learning and Wellbeing outcomes, which give a rating of how each school is tracking. The school performance reports were changed in 2024 to measure performance more effectively and to help schools set improvement targets in plainer language. Since then, our results have improved each year.

In 2024, we were rated “medium” for both learning and Wellbeing. In 2025, we moved up to “high” for Wellbeing and stayed at “medium” for learning. This year, we have achieved a “high” rating in both.

Our “high” Wellbeing rating reflects increased positive endorsement from students across nearly all measures of the student survey. Our “high” learning rating reflects exceptional NAPLAN results. Our Year 9 students achieved the third-highest improvement in average scaled score for reading in the state, and the seventh-highest for numeracy.

These results are a testament to the efforts of our students and the quality of teaching in our classrooms.
