Year 12 Graduation 2023 student acknowledgements

This week saw the conclusion of formal lessons for our Year 12 students, culminating in their Prayer Service and Graduation ceremony in the presence of Fr Joe D’Souza from our St Augustine’s parish. 

This was a significant event as it marked the culmination of 13 years of Catholic Education beginning as Kindergarten students in our feeder primary schools and concluding as Year 12 Graduates at our College. The Graduation ceremony was a chance for our Year 12 students to be acknowledged for their academic achievements and talents before their parents, families and our entire College staff and student body. 

This year’s ceremony saw keynote speaker, Ms Bonnie Hancock (Year 12 2007) address the College and share her journey as a professional Inronwoman on the Nutri Grain Ironwoman Circuit and then take the challenge to circumnavigate Australia by paddle in 2022. 

Whilst the College’s Major Award recipients will be acknowledged elsewhere in this newsletter, I would like to make special mention of our Year 12 performers this week, namely:

Oreoluwa Olutayo, Lily Hallawell, Vincent Emery, Violet Livingstone, Scarlett Grebert, and Rocco Siviour for their Music performance of “Fix You” by Coldplay

Lilly Hallawell for her own composition, titled “Give Me Back”

Somerley Bramall for her rendition of the National Anthem
