Magis report 

2023: A Year in Pictures

The end of the year affords us the opportunity to reflect and to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our Magis students. What a year 2023 has been! Our students have pushed themselves further in all areas of College life – from their academic achievements, their commitment to extra-curricular activities, to their service and leadership within the College and wider community. 

To all our amazing students, thank you for your ongoing enthusiasm and passion for all things Magis. It has been an absolute joy to teach you. To our Year 12 leaders, thank you for your outstanding commitment and leadership over the past five years. May the philosophy of Magis continue to guide you on your academic journey. Thank you to our wonderful parents, family and friends who have supported our talented students. And lastly, thank you to our brilliant and incredibly generous staff that have assisted with the continued success of the Magis program. 

‘A picture is worth a thousand words’…here’s a look back on some of the highlights of 2023.

The Magis Program will continue to offer students the chance to compete in the top state gifted student competitions as well as national and global events. We invite all students to take up the Magis Spirit of ‘doing more’ in 2024. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas. May God bless you throughout this holiday season.
