The year has certainly flown and last week we bode farewell to our Year 12 graduates for 2019. The week was a wonderful celebration of the culmination of thirteen years of schooling for these students. The retreat was an excellent opportunity for the students to spend time as a group and reflect on what I am sure was a wonderful journey, not only across their final year, but across their schooling right from day one of Prep. The graduation mass and dinner were significant events and it was fantastic to hear the reflections from the school captains and valedictorian as they summed up this journey on behalf of the Senior cohort. As a school community, we wish the 2019 graduates all the best and every success as they move forward into the next phase of their young lives.

Further to this, I congratulate the five OP Year 12 students on their exceptional results in this year's QCS test. The results were just reward for the hard work these students put in across the QCS preparation program that commenced in Term 4 2018. I thank the students, as well as Mr Joseph Shorter who assisted with the delivery of the program, and we await eagerly the release of the OP results in mid-December.

Finally, Semester 2 reports for Years 7 -11 will be issued at the end of the year. These results will provide feedback for students and parents on academic performance across the semester. Please discuss the results and feedback with your child and do not hesitate to contact relevant staff or myself if you need further clarification.
