Presentation night was a wonderful occasion celebrating our high achievers in diverse fields. Thank you to the efforts of staff and supporters who made it a memorable conclusion to the school year.

Congratulations to all our award winners and we look forward to seeing you continue your excellence in the future.

The VCE results of 2016 are worthy of celebration.

The breakdown of results is:

23 students received 90 and above                     38 students received  80 to 89

The college extends its heartfelt congratulations to the Dux of the college Lachlan Blain who gained  a study score of 98.85.  The number of students who gained a study score of 40 is 7.9% with Justin Thomas and Lachlan Blain receiving a perfect score of 50 for Music Investigations and History Revolutions respectively. Well done to these fine young men and well done to all students.

The holidays are upon us and the reports are published, productions are finished, transitions are concluded, our overseas tour group is returning home and we are ready to spend some festive time with family and friends recharging ourselves and making the most of the holiday season. To the whole college community we wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy start to the new year.
