Graduation
Another group has completed their journey at Mt Beauty Secondary College. This group was known for their support of one another and connection. This connection extended to their peers, teachers, and the wider school community. While not everyone who began in Year 7 finished here, this group should be proud of how they stayed connected, welcomed newcomers, and farewelled those who moved on. I wish them every success in the paths they choose, confident that they carry with them the values of Mount Beauty Secondary College.
