Year 12 Valedictory Dinner

Last Friday, we celebrated our Year 12 Valedictory Dinner — a wonderful finale for our Class of 2025. It was a special night for our students to come together with their families and teachers for one final celebration as a cohort. 

 Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening truly unforgettable.

Closing the Year with Gratitude and Anticipation

As we approach Christmas, we celebrate the achievements of 2025 and reflect on the lessons learned. As we come to the end of this year, it is important to reflect on how it has shaped us for what lies ahead, and we now look forward with hope to 2026. This week, we welcome our new Year 7 students during Transition Days—a chance to make friends and embrace a fresh start. 

Next week, Step Up Week invites students to grow: Years 7 & 8 will Step Up to Serve, undertaking various service activities; Year 9 will Step Up to Lead through their Solo Night experience; and Years 10 & 11 will Step Up to VCE learning expectations. May this time of transition inspire courage, character, and joy as we prepare for the new year.

We pray your Christmas is filled with peace, joy, and the love of Christ. May His presence bring hope and refreshment to your home this season.“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…” – Isaiah 9:6

Year 9 Rite Journey High Tea

Our Year 9 girls recently enjoyed a special high tea to mark their transition from childhood into young womanhood. The morning created a warm and welcoming space for them to reflect on their growth, celebrate their strengths, and share time together. The students loved the experience — from the treats on the table to the meaningful conversations.

Many expressed their gratitude for the chance to pause, connect and feel supported as they move into this next stage of their lives. It was a beautiful moment of confidence, friendship and pride for all involved.
