Senior School

YEAR 12

On Tuesday 20th November we said farewell to the class of 2018 at the Valedictory Dinner held at Merrimu Receptions.

The evening began with a welcome speech delivered by our Principal, Mr Aaron Smith. Each student was presented with a momento from the College and a graduation certificate signed by Clare O’Neil MP, The Federal Member for Hotham. As each student came forward, a photo of the student when in year 7 was contrasted with their photo from this year. Some students had changed dramatically, while others had hardly changed at all!

The College Captains, Molly Sceney and Nina Notaro, along with Vice Captains Tash Buckley and Tanya Vejdani, reflected on their time at Wheelers Hill Secondary College. The girls then joined the Principal in cutting the Valedictory cake.

With the formal part of the evening over, students, their families and friends, moved onto the dance floor, accompanied by music from the trio, South Side Soul.  A good time was had by all.

I would like to thank everyone who was involved in the organisation and presentation of the evening, especially our Year 12 Coordinator, Mrs Helen James.

A special thanks must go to our Year 12 students for what has been an amazing year. We thank them also for the contributions they have made to the College during their time here, and we wish them all the very best for their future endeavours, whatever they may be.
