Farwell Class Of 2024

30.10.24

Last Thursday, 23 October, we formally acknowledged the rite of passage for our Year 12 students and wished them well for the next critical stage of their learning journey. A feature of the day was a guard of honour as Year 12s moved to the chapel for their final mass as a Year 12 cohort.  The guard of honour symbolised the journey of the Year 12s with us in our College community.  At this time as they move to a significant period in that journey we walk right along side the Year 12s and we are right behind them.  The guard of honour indicated to the Year 12s that they  have been very important to us and they will always be very important to us. But in appreciating this communal support and enjoying these rite of passage moments we asked the Year 12s to remember, when they take responsibility for their future at this time there are often no short cuts – it takes SWAGger (skill, work ethic, attitude, knowing their game) and full presence to reach their potential.  They are in the process of creating something very special, so we urged them to give it the space, time and the full attention it deserves to SHINE with SWAGger.
