St Virgil's College Graduation Mass

As you would be aware, 2024 is a significant year in the history of the college with the first full cohort of Kindergarten to Year 12, with our first Year 12 graduates in 30 years.

We are therefore developing new traditions to mark this important milestone for our students. On Wednesday 23 October, we will be holding our first Year 12 Graduation Mass in the Cathedral at 6.00 pm. We would like to invite you to attend this mass and to form a guard of honour at the conclusion of the Mass for the Year 12 students to walk through, to recognise those who have walked before and the contribution of men such as yourself.

If you can attend, please email Kim Mooney (Assistant Principal) at kmooney@stvirgils.tas.edu.au to RSVP by Monday 14 October. I look forward to hopefully meeting many OVA members at this very significant event in the history of St Virgil’s College.
