On Monday 8 December, our Learning Hub was filled with joy and pride as we gathered to
celebrate the achievements of our Middle Years students, and in particular our Year 9 cohort,
as they prepare to transition into the Senior School. The event was a wonderful
acknowledgement of their growth, resilience, leadership and success throughout their time in
the Middle Years.

The celebration showcased the talents of our young people through musical items,
presentations, and the awarding of significant honours recognising service, academic
excellence, leadership, creativity and achievement.
