Year 12 Valedictory

Recently our Year 12 International students attended their Valedictory and many did not have families to bring to this special occasion.

Our Principal, Mr John Albiston, kindly drove the school bus so that they could all have transport and be supported for this event.  It was also pleasing to see some families travel from overseas, celebrating this occasion with their child after studying for several years at our school.  Although we arrived home in the early hours the next day, everyone had a night to remember and shared in this special time with our local students and their families.

Year 12 Farewell and Homestay Thank You 

The International Student Program celebrated the Year 12 students completing several years of study at our school while many living without their families and cared for by their homestays.  Mrs Helen Wilson presented the students with their special certificates and congratulated them on being mature enough to study independently in our country and achieve success with their VCE.

We also celebrated this milestone with our homestays who supported these students and they all enjoyed a meal together to show our appreciation of their support and kindness to our graduating students.
