The Awards Night on Thursday last week was a special night. It is the highlight of the year, celebrating so many wonderful achievements by our students and the exceptional work by the staff to get them there. Thanks to Angelina Sims for her outstanding work putting the Awards Night together and to all staff who helped. My thanks also to School Leadership Team members Megan Mahoney, Sarah Yates and Matthew Brown for their many contributions, Dr James Cuskelly OAM for organising and performing with the Secondary choir and Prep-Year 2 coral group, and Mrs Maple Edgerton and the strings orchestra. The Year 12s also did a fine job as the presenters for the evening and I am exceptionally grateful to our many guests and the sponsors of the school. Well done to all award recipients and congratulations to their families.

I would also like to congratulate our 2024 Student Leaders who were appointed last week and I look forward to their, together with all the Year 12s, positive servant leadership of the student body next year.
