HSC Starts
On Tuesday morning we wished Year 12 well for the commencement of their HSC exams. It has been a long time coming but they are finally here! Father Roel Llave attended for the traditional blessing of the students and Mr Fulloon and Ms Menz addressed the group to offer their encouragement and well wishes. St Mary's Year 6 students sent the students messages of support which we very well received and are placed at the entry to the examination room. The resilience of this year's Year 12 has been something to be admired. As a community we will be keeping them in our prayers.
The End of English
With a strong Harry Potter reference, our amazing HSC English teachers ‘freed’ their students from English after their second and final Exam Paper on Wednesday.
Remembrance Day
On Thursday, Staff and Students at the College paused at 11am to pay our respect to those who serve and those who fell in WW1. Pastoral this morning was also a place where we focused on the meaning of Armistice Day for us as Australians today.
Good Luck Debaters
We wish our Senior Debating Team every success in their upcoming Final in the Australian Independent Schools Competition. To be held on Monday, the team consists of (L to R) Angus Scrivener, Joel Croft, Roie Wood and Jean Boshoff. To get through six rounds of debates against schools from around Australia is an admirable achievement.
School of Rock
Last week, the cast of our 2022 College Musical - School of Rock were given their scripts. They had their first virtual rehearsal on Sunday. We look forward to further updates on the musical's progress.
