Year 12 Graduation

Once again the events surrounding the Year 12 Graduation have been a highlight of the school year. Approximately 670 people attended the Valedictory dinner where parents, guardians, grandparents and siblings joined the students in celebrating their achievements. On Thursday, a full school assembly was held to farewell the students and this was once again an emotional time for all involved. I would like to acknowledge the contribution of Greg Bristol this year for his leadership in this area. Thank you to the many families who now end their formal connection with the school, and we look forward to hearing of the successes and achievements of these young people in the years ahead.

College Captains 2017

We had three girls and five boys nominate for the positions of College Captain next year, and staff and students have participated in the voting process. The leaders were announced at the Assembly on Thursday morning.

School Captains for 2017 are Phoebe Gale and Dino Nicolopoulos and the Vice Captains are Isabel Treacy and Jack McKindley. I am confident that they will continue to do the good work carried out by previous leaders. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our 2016 leaders in Caitlyn Grant, Raj Parhaar, Kaylie Carbis and Joshua Gale for the terrific example they set for others to follow.

Monday 31st October

Just a reminder for parents that Monday 31st October is a normal school day. If your child is absent on that day, the usual procedure of phoning the absence line is required.
