YEAR 12 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 6

Senior School Update

Our senior students represented themselves and our school community exceptionally well during the St Mary's Day celebrations. Their performance was a wonderful reflection of the talent, commitment and school spirit within our senior cohort. The students participated with enthusiasm, respect and confidence, contributing to a meaningful and memorable celebration for all who attended.

Celebration Dinner Tables

Planning for the Year 12 Celebration Dinner is well underway. To assist with seating arrangements and event preparations, students are asked to finalise their table groups as soon as possible. Confirming tables early will help us ensure a smooth and enjoyable evening for all students and families celebrating this significant milestone.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we continue to celebrate and prepare for these important Year 12 events.

College Fees and Levies - Term 3 2026

For Year 12 students, College fees and levies are issued over three terms rather than four. Payment for Term 3 fees and levies were due by Monday 10 August 2026.

In accordance with the 2026 College Fees & Levies Schedule, all school fees must be paid in full or be covered by an approved payment plan with the College.

Please note the following information from the 2026 College Fees and Levies Schedule regarding attendance at the Year 12 Celebration Dinner:

Impact of Non-payment of College Fees

Account holders not meeting the payment terms specified as a condition of enrolment, and without an approved payment plan in place, may find that invitations cannot be extended for their child to participate in extracurricular activities such as sporting trips or the Year 12 Celebration Dinner. To avoid this situation, it is crucial that account holders speak with us to make approved payment arrangements if the current 14 day terms are unachievable.
