Farewell to the Class of 2022

As third term concludes, our prayers and best wishes go with the young men of Year 12 who graduate this week after thirteen years of schooling – a relief for many parents/carers.

While we acknowledge and celebrate the gift of these young men to the College through farewells and graduation ceremonies, we are reminded of the challenge that lies ahead for them in the coming weeks with the Higher School Certificate written examinations, commencing Wednesday 12 October.

We are also reminded of the very busy and eventful term it’s been for Year 12. Parents/carers would know, having just been through the Trial Higher School Certificate examinations in August, that many of the boys completed a significant practical component of their externally assessed Higher School Certificate examinations such as oral examinations in Languages, major works in English Extension 2, Design and Technology, Industrial Technology and Visual Arts, as well as performances for Drama and Music.

Parents/carers would agree their son’s time here at St Patrick’s has been filled with some setbacks as well as joys and successes but overall, parents/carers ought to feel a sense of pride in their son reaching this milestone at this College.

I wish every young man of the Class of 2022 all the best for the future as he embarks upon a new stage in his life – farewell Year 12, good luck and God bless.
