FROM THE COLLEGE PRINCIPAL

Over the course of the last few weeks there has been much to celebrate: the Valedictory and Graduation of our Year 12 students, the onboarding of our incoming Year 7 students, the recent participation of our Boarders in fundraising initiatives for Australian Catholic Youth Ministries, and the recent Performing Arts Night showcasing the tremendous talents of our students in Dance and Drama. As we reach the end of Term 4 and prepare to close the year, I recognise all the students, parents and staff whose collective involvement have made this year the remarkable success that it has been. I particularly acknowledge the recent work of our Performing Arts staff including Head of Department – Dramatic Arts, Dance & Performance, Ms Jojo Butler, and teachers Ms Rosie Maguire, Ms Sherri-Lee Hudson, Ms Carla Weijers, as well as Head of Faculty – Music & Performance, Mr John Goulter. I also acknowledge the role played by our 2026 Performing Arts Prefects, Poppy Lea-Rowell and Millie Weekers, who acted as masters of ceremony for the evening.

I also wish to acknowledge the commitment of our Year 7–11 students during the recent assessment period, and thank them for their continued engagement not only in the College’s learning program, but in its broad extracurricular offerings. As the year draws to a close, it is timely that students reflect on 2025 triumphs, as well as areas for growth. This will be an important process with the release of reports, and guide the setting of goals for 2026.  

I wish all of our students and their families a wonderful holiday. As we enter the Christmas season, our challenge will be to remind ourselves that Christmas is a time to be spent with family, giving thanks, finding peace and celebrating renewal. It is a time for hope, generosity and togetherness. I thank all who’ve made 2025 another fabulous year.
