Deputy Principal

On Thursday, we came together as a school community for our Academic Excellence Assembly, where we recognised and celebrated the outstanding academic achievements of our students. This was an opportunity to acknowledge their dedication, perseverance, and commitment to excellence.

The assembly featured the presentation of the following awards:

• The 2024 Semester Two Chris Nolan Awards – awarded to students who ranked in the top 10% of their cohort based on their academic performance across all subjects.
• The Principal’s Excellence Awards – presented to students who achieved a Chris Nolan Award in both Semester One and Semester Two of 2024.
• The Subject Dux Awards – awarded to the student (or students) who achieved the highest results in their year level within each subject.

• The 2024 Unit 3-4 VCE Excellence Awards, recognising:

  - Students who achieved an individual Study Score of 40 or above.

  - The Dux of each VCE study within the College.

  - Students who achieved an ATAR of 90 or above.

A highlight of the assembly was the address by our 2024 College Dux, Brodie Graham. Brodie spoke with humility and wisdom, encouraging students to continually strive for knowledge, approach new learning with curiosity, and seek opportunities to explore subjects they are passionate about. His speech was both inspiring and thought-provoking, leaving a lasting impression on our students.

As a College, we are incredibly proud of our award winners and, indeed, all our students for the effort and determination they demonstrate daily. Their achievements also reflect the dedication and support of the entire school community, including families and staff, who play a vital role in guiding, mentoring, and caring for our students.

Academic success requires grit, discipline, and perseverance—but the rewards are immeasurable. Through effort and commitment, new opportunities arise, and doors are opened.

Education is the most empowering force in the world. It builds knowledge, instills confidence, and breaks down barriers to opportunity. This is what we truly celebrated on Thursday.

I would like to take this opportunity to once again congratulate all of our award recipients.
