On Wednesday, 16 October, we came together to celebrate the achievements of our Year 12 students, recognise their contributions to our community, and say farewell.
Students, families, and staff gathered in the Xavier Read Gymnasium for a memorable evening filled with awards, and graduation celebrations.
The event was made even more special by Fr Jess' beautiful liturgy, touching speeches from Head of Year David Mazza and Principal Rob Crothers, and a stunning performance by the choir.
During the Award Ceremony, Mr Crothers presented and congratulated the recipients of our Major College Awards:
