Year 12

Ms Linda Burland
Leader of Wellbeing – Year 12

Term 3 has been a significant and memorable period for our Year 12 students. Throughout the term, the boys demonstrated resilience, commitment and determination as they prepared for and completed their Trial HSC Examinations. These assessments provided an important opportunity to consolidate learning, refine examination techniques and identify areas for improvement as they move towards their final HSC examinations. The maturity and perseverance shown during this demanding period reflected their commitment to achieving their personal best.

Following the trials, students participated in a Reflection Day focused on personal growth, future pathways and life beyond school. In the Marist tradition, the day encouraged the boys to pause and reflect on their journey through the College, the relationships they have formed and the values that will guide them in the future. Through prayer, reflection and discussion, students were challenged to consider how they can continue to live lives of faith, service and integrity, inspired by the example of St Marcellin Champagnat.

The cohort also demonstrated a strong sense of generosity and family spirit through fundraising initiatives for the Year 12 School Gift. Their efforts reflected gratitude for the opportunities provided by the College and a desire to leave a meaningful legacy for future generations of students which will be a lectern that will be used at flag raising on Fridays.

Several important milestones were celebrated at the end of the term. The Graduation Breakfast brought together students and staff in a spirit of gratitude and fellowship. The Graduation Mass provided an opportunity to give thanks for the blessings of their Marist journey and seek guidance for the future. At the Graduation Assembly, the wider school community acknowledged the achievements, leadership and contributions of the Class of 2026. The School Formal concluded these celebrations, allowing students to share a memorable evening with their peers, parents and teachers.
