Senior School
As the year draws to a close, it's a time for reflection, gratitude, and celebration of the remarkable achievements within our community. This year has been filled with academic excellence, outstanding accomplishments, and the nurturing of positive relationships through innovative programs.
We are thrilled to acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding academic achievements of our students. From stellar grades to amazing Personal Projects, our students have truly excelled. Their dedication to learning, curiosity, and hard work have set a standard of excellence that inspires us all.
Special recognition is due to our Awards recipients. Their commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed. Their pursuit of knowledge and their contribution to our academic community have made a lasting impact, and we are immensely proud of their accomplishments.
The pastoral days during the Head Start program were a highlight, creating an environment where students and staff could come together to build positive relationships beyond the classroom. They provided a platform for students and staff to connect in a relaxed and enjoyable setting, fostering a sense of belonging and community spirit.
The 2024 Year 10 students embarked on a journey to Melbourne Cable Park, where they not only enjoyed an adrenaline-fueled day but also honed essential life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, and conquering fears. Students immersed themselves in a series of team-building activities that pushed the boundaries of their collaboration and communication skills. The day was not just about conquering the water-based obstacles but also about conquering the challenges that life presents when faced together.
The Year 11 class of 2024 went to Artvo and allowed themselves to be creative and immerse themselves in the wonder of art and 3D photography while enjoying some free time socialising with their peers. Artvo's enchanting galleries offered our Year 11 students a canvas of limitless possibilities. From optical illusions to breathtaking 3D scenes, every corner of Artvo became a playground for creativity.
Students immersed themselves in a world where they could interact with art, blurring the lines between spectator and creator. This experience not only fostered a love for art but also encouraged students to think outside the conventional boundaries, unleashing their imaginations in ways that textbooks cannot capture. The power of creativity became a tool for self-discovery and expression.
While our 2024 Year 12 students had a day out cruising to Williamstown for lunch, basking in the beauty of Melbourne's skyline. As they sailed along the river, the cityscape unfolded like a chapter in their academic story. The journey became a symbol of the progress made, the challenges that may lay ahead next year and the triumphs waiting to be celebrated.
The purpose of these activities was to build positive relationships and finish the year on a high.
As we bid farewell to this year, let us carry forward the spirit of achievement, camaraderie, and positive relationships into the next. We express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this year a success – the students, the staff, and the entire community.
May the coming year be filled with even more triumphs, growth, and moments of joy. Here's to a bright future and the continued pursuit of excellence in all that we do.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
