Year Coordinators

With only four days of classes left for Year 12, these past few weeks have seemed to fly by. I think the parents at home will say the last thirteen years of schooling have flown by as well. The students now reach the summit of their time here at the College as they celebrate their ‘lasts’; last lessons, last school assembly, last year meeting, last retreat and of course their last Graduation Ceremony (where they will be the guests of honour of course).

It’s been a tough year full of twists and turns and the students have handled it with maturity and understanding. The knowledge that ‘When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade’ is what they’ve been tasked with for the past 8 months in particular.

Nevertheless, they’ve managed to stamp their mark on the College and are heading towards some successful results in exams or careers or whatever it may be that they are aiming for. 

Year 12 fundraising has just about wrapped up their efforts in raising much needed funds to go towards their chosen charities. Charities that are struggling with the workload and demand that the current climate has increased upon them this year. The students have taken every opportunity they can to have helped Julie at OzHarvest, Anna from Pete’s Place and the work of Ruralaid, in running events and volunteering when possible.

Their last efforts were three Online Auctions that ran over the past three weeks. Year 12 would like to thank everyone that took part and congratulate the winners:

Week 1 ‘Wests’ Tigers pack’ - John, Finn and Xavier Hartley.

Week 2 ‘Sydney Thunder pack’ - Peter Watts.

Week 3 ‘GWS AFL pack’ - Mark Coster.

The upcoming week will see Year 12 enjoy their last lessons with their teachers and classmates, along with hosting the final College assembly on Wednesday, then they’ll also enjoy a relaxed picnic day of graduation practice, music, drama, and some games and activities this Friday. The final week of this term will see our school based Retreat on Monday and Tuesday before Graduation Day on Wednesday. Please join us on this day via the live video stream that will be sent out and advertised over the College information channels soon.
