Night of Excellence

The 2024 Night of Excellence will be held on Thursday October 17, commencing at 7.30pm at Robert Blackwood Hall, Monash University, where we celebrate the accomplishments of many students in our College Community. The evening will highlight the talents of our students in academic achievement, performing and visual arts, sport, and cultural activities. This hopefully sets a standard that, in the future, all students will find aspirational. The major academic performers at each year level will be acknowledged on the evening. During assemblies and special events throughout the year many more students at the respective year levels were acknowledged for Academic Excellence, Christian Leadership and Determination and Persistence. The Spirit of The Oblate Awards consider the contribution all students make to College life. Staff always have the difficult task of narrowing the many worthy recipients to a small number of students at each year level. We also present all Year 12 students on the night and thank them for their contribution to the Mazenod College community and wish them well.

Year 12 Finish

The Year 12 students will conduct their final assembly on Friday October 18. This tradition looks at the collective contribution of the Year 12 cohort and acknowledges the dedication of staff not only at Year 12 but all who have been part of their formation over the six years. It is a day to express gratitude to staff, students, and parents/carers, for their commitment and generosity, which establishes the culture that is revered by so many past and present Mazenod community members. We wish all our students every success with their exams, their career aspirations, and their future lives as Old Collegians, spiritually, vocationally and pastorally.   

Year 12 Valedictory Mass & Dinner

On Monday October 14, the Year 12 students and their families will celebrate their Valedictory Mass and Dinner. Mass will be celebrated at St. John Vianney’s Mulgrave, and we are looking forward to expressing our gratitude for the year as a faith community.

All the best,
