Year 12 Valedictory Ceremony

On Friday,  23 November, members of our school community gathered together to farewell our Year 12 young men and women at our Valedictory Assembly.  It was a special occasion to pause and reflect on the contribution of our Year 12 students, as well as celebrate their achievements in both academic and co-curricular pursuits.  Our Year 12 VCAL and VCE students were awarded their graduating certificates as proud families and school staff watched on.  The quality of the musical items were a personal highlight.  Thank you to the Senior Jazz band, rock bands ‘The Spin Tops’ and ‘The Sloths’ and Lara and Candy of Year 12 who performed a moving rendition of our National Anthem.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the day, including Ms Sonja Allen and the Food Tech team, Tim Sprigg and Tom Lansdaal for setting up the stadium, as well as all of our student helpers who have been integral in the running of the day.

I would also like to thank all of our special guests for taking time out of their busy schedule to attend.
