From the Assistant Principal – Mrs Harding
Dear Parents and Carers,
As we come to an end of the 2022 academic year, I would like to congratulate all students and their families on a remarkable year. As a school, we celebrated another year of outstanding HSC results, we saw out the end of the academic year with our Award Evening and Award Assemblies with all Year groups, where we formally recognised students for academic achievement and application to their studies. I would like to congratulate the Award recipients, as a College community we are extremely proud of our students’ efforts and accomplishments this year.
Additionally, I would like to take this opportunity to formally recognise the hard work, dedication and effort that our staff have consistently demonstrated to our students throughout the year.
We celebrated the end of the school year with our College Picnic Day at Aquatopia, the Year 12 formal, a Christmas Mass, for the first time a Christmas sing a long and finally, to top off the year, the announcement of our impressive 2022 HSC results.
This proved a fitting conclusion to the 2022 academic year – a year of hard work and high achievements.
Please find below some reminders for 2023:
School Shoes
Many parents will be purchasing new school shoes for their daughter prior to the start of 2023.
A reminder that College school shoes are required to be hard, black, leather lace up.
Ballet or soft leather shoes do not comply with WHS requirements.
