Valedictory Dinner

On Thursday the 16th of December we celebrated the graduation of our Year 12 students.

It is always a bittersweet moment for school staff, having watched them grow and develop over a number of years we are excited for what the future holds for them but will miss them terribly as well.

We began the festivities as student entered the College taking memorable photos on the red carpet and classic cars and enjoyed some food and drinks.

The official ceremony was held in the theatre where students were each presented their certificates from their senior school teaching team; Ms Vernon, Mr Gauci, Mr Jones, Ms Fortnam and Ms Vines. As students were on stage, their Year 7 photo was projected behind them, showing just how much they have grown in their journey at the College.

The Acquisitive Art Prize which recognizes outstanding artworks and enables the college to keep an ongoing collection of artworks produced by selected senior students studying in the Visual Arts area.
