Assistant Principal Report
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Aristotle
As we come to the end of the school year for 2021 I would like to acknowledge the many accomplishments that we have achieved as a community this year. As a community, we have continued to thrive despite the restrictions that we were faced with.
Last week, we acknowledged the academic successes of our Years 7-11 students in a series of Year Group Presentation Day Ceremonies. It was an honour to watch the students proudly accept their awards and be recognised not only for their curriculum achievements but also for their generosity, as we also recognised students who have made significant contributions to the life of our College.

And finally, I would like to thank the community for their support over the course of the year. It has been a privilege to be part of this community and I particularly take this opportunity to thank the staff for their ongoing support and encouragement and for their genuine care of our girls. I also would like to thank our parents for entrusting your daughters to our care. And finally, I wish to acknowledge the efforts of all our girls this year and thank them for their hard work and dedication. I wish you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas and a restful and peaceful break over the coming weeks.
