The 2024 Year 12s have now finished their schooling and are embarking on their various adventures and career paths. Their Valedictory Ceremony on Friday November 15 was a wonderful evening and we want to thank all the staff who contributed to the evening but especially Mrs Angie Lukan who bought it all together. It was wonderful to see Mrs Sharon Andrews there to celebrate the hard work that she has put in over the year with the cohort and we wish her well for the remainder of her Long Service Leave.

 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 2024. 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. I also want to acknowledge the amazing work of Mrs Maguire with this cohort. She has been a wonderful support for this cohort as they navigate Senior School and I know she will continue to monitor how they are tracking next year. Thanks again Mrs Maguire as you have done a wonderful job.

Our Year 10’s are getting ready for transition into Year 11 and the first part of this was their exams in Week 6. They now have Transition Week in Week 9 where they will have an introduction to their Year 11 courses. This is always a really positive experience and gives students a good insight into what Year 11 will look like. The week concludes with their Dinner Dance for those who have their Good Standing. A huge thanks to Mrs Winchester (formerly Ms Walton) for her great work with this cohort. It is a busy time of year as she organises the end of year event and works really closely with students  to make sure they are able to attend.

I finally would really like to thank our amazing support staff in Student Services Mrs Hockley, Mrs Kinnersley and Mrs Nairn for all their hard work during the year. They are vital cogs in our Student Services machine.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Festive Season and a wonderful 2025.
