Dear Parents and Carers

On Monday, our boarders celebrated their Year 12 leavers with a dinner and tribute speeches. This was an emotional evening for our Year 12 boarders, with many of them enjoying six years in our boarding community, during which Rawson and Street Houses became their home. A special thanks to Angus Stanford and Kaleb Ah-Colt for their superb tribute speeches for their peers. A wonderful evening!

On Tuesday evening, we were treated to our TAS Major Works celebration, with Design & Technology and Technology Timber works on display in the Centenary Hall. These major works were simply outstanding, showing creativity and craftsmanship well in advance of school aged students. Indeed, many of these major works will be household pieces of fine furniture for generations to come. A special thanks to Joel Budd and his marvellous staff for all their work with Year 12s. We were then treated to more music from the Spring Festival in the Mackay Chapel, and I would like to express a huge thanks to the musicians who performed so beautifully.

Today, we see our athletes, Years 7, 8 and 11 head off to Homebush for the CAS Athletics Championships. Our athletes have worked incredibly hard in the past few weeks, and we wish them the very best for their final performances for the season.

Tomorrow, we will farewell our Year 12s with their Valedictory Assembly. This will commence at 9.30am sharp, in the Centenary Hall and we look forward to saying goodbye to our wonderful Year 12s as they reach the end of their formal schooling. We also look forward to their Valedictory Dinner tomorrow evening at Royal Randwick Racecourse commencing at 6.30pm.

We are now at the end of a very busy but successful term, and I would like to thank everyone for their support over the past term. I wish everybody a happy and safe break over the holidays.

Best wishes
