November remains an especially busy time for both our Year 11 and 12 students, as they conclude their respective years. 2023 has gone by so swiftly and I cannot believe our Class of 2023 have completed their formal secondary education. Preparation is well under way for the Class of 2024, for their concluding year of schooling.

The Year 12s had their WACE exams during November, our positive thoughts were with them all, as they made every effort to do their best and achieve results which will allow them to pursue further study at university or continue along their prospective pathways. We had our Year 12 Valedictory on Friday 17 November at the Curtin Stadium, it was an excellent night and the most appropriate way to end our class of 2023 years at school. As always, I was exceptionally proud of our Year 12s individual achievements and I genuinely hope they each find happiness and success in whatever life pursuits they choose.

As the school year has now concluded for our Year 11 students, I acknowledge them on their achievements thus far, and their hard work throughout 2023. It was pleasing to see the students celebrate the conclusion of their year at our now customary river cruise. There was plenty of dancing, photos and a wonderful time was had by all. For those students who will be continuing their learning or training elsewhere or moving into employment, following their pathway next year, I wish them all the very best in their future aspirations. Thanks also to Ms Bullock for her continued hard work and support for her cohort.

I would very much like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday and look forward to the New Year and all its new possibilities.
