Farewell Events for Year 12 2022

In the coming weeks we will be farewelling our Year 12 students. This is a very significant time for the College as we celebrate their contribution to our community and wish them every success for the future. The events we have planned offer a variety of ways for the students, staff and families to recognise the achievements of our Year 12’s.

Our celebrations are outlined below and occur across Term 3 Week 10.

Monday 19 September – Year 12 students will attend their normal classes.

Tuesday 20 September – breakfast will be served in the Senior Courtyard courtesy of the College from 7.30am for Year 12 students and staff. Later in the afternoon Year 12 students, their families and College staff will gather at 5.00pm at Sacred Heart Church, Moruya for Mass celebrated by Fr Eden Langlands. Following our Mass we will have our Awards ceremony acknowledging the achievements and aspirations of Year 12.

Wednesday 21 September - Year 12 will attend classes for the first two periods, followed by a whole school assembly. Unfortunately, parents are unable to attend the final assembly due to COVID restrictions however, this event will be recorded and made available to families.

At this assembly, we will be introducing and commissioning the incoming Student Leadership Team for 2022/2023. As a final acknowledgement from the student body, a Guard of Honour will farewell the Year 12 students as they leave to attend their luncheon at Moruya Golf Club with the Pastoral Coordinators and representatives of the College Executive.

Thursday 22 September – the Year 12 Graduation Formal Dinner/Dance will be held at Bay Pavilions commencing 5.45pm. Families of Year 12 students have been sent an online invitation and we would appreciate an RSVP for this event at your earliest convenience.
