Year 12
Led by our Year 12 Aboriginal Studies students, Monday’s Year Meeting invited the cohort to reflect on the significance of National Reconciliation Week and to deepen their understanding of the histories and experiences of First Nations peoples. Through a short film and follow-up discussion, students were encouraged to consider the importance of truth-telling, listening, and shared responsibility in working towards reconciliation.
On Tuesday, Year 12 heard from Old Girls, Charlie Kairaitis (2020) and Erini Stavroulakis (2022) who shared thoughtful and encouraging reflections on university and career pathways. Charlie spoke about finding the right fit through study changes and her experiences as a woman in tech, while Erini offered insight into studying law, legal research, and opportunities for involvement at university.
Wednesday’s Year 12 Chapel Service focused on the power of music to bring joy, gratitude and connection. Through a reflection with Pastor Luisa Bland and a special guest speaker, students were invited to reflect on how music can express faith, encourage others and create a sense of shared community. Combined with the contributions of student readers, the service created a celebratory and uplifting atmosphere, reminding the cohort of music’s ability to inspire hope and bring people together.
On Thursday, Year 12 had a lovely Luminary session with their Little Sisters from Year 8. Thank you, to our Year 8 Little Sisters and their Luminaries, for organising and relaxing a fun filled morning together!
Congratulations to all the cast and crew involved in Romeo and Juliet! What a wonderful buzz there has been around the School and amongst the cohort seeing all of their hard work come together!
