🌿✨ Enchanted Forest Ball ✨🌿

What a fantastic night at our Enchanted Forest Ball! It was awesome to see everyone dressed up, looking great and enjoying their time together.

A huge thank you to the staff who worked so hard throughout the term and especially this past week to bring the night together, and to Jake O'Rafferty for the great tunes.

Of course the highlight of the night was celebrating our Year 12s, who were cheered on by the whole room as they made their final walk out. A very special way to celebrate the end of their time at JHS. ✨

Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a memorable night!

❤️💛🖤 Talia-Rose Represents JHS at State Dance

Last week, Talia travelled to Sydney to perform at the State Dance Festival as part of the Barradambang Dancers, bringing Brolga’s Crown: A Gift of Moonlight to the stage — a beautiful work choreographed by Wiradjuri woman Ella Havelka.

Talia did an incredible job representing Junee High School, performing alongside students from across the state with so much pride, confidence and passion. It was a fantastic opportunity, and one we’re incredibly proud to see Talia be part of.

A big thank you to On-Country Pathways for supporting opportunities like this and helping Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students develop their talents, share their stories and take part in experiences they might not otherwise have access to.

Well done, Talia-Rose!

🎓 Year 12 Graduation | Class of 2026 🎓

Today we officially farewelled our Year 12 Class of 2026 at their Graduation Ceremony.

Our Year 12s said some heartfelt goodbyes to their teachers and year advisors, with Ms Hyland returning to share a special farewell to the year group, as well as Mrs Commins and Mrs Bunyan.

We were also treated to a fantastic performance from Will Chisholm, who took to the drums for a spectacular performance of The Grudge by Tool. Amazing as always!

One of the biggest highlights of the morning was the handover of an incredible $16,588.30 to Junee Can Assist from this year's fundraising efforts, a new record for our Year 12 fundraising!

We also officially inducted our 2027 Student Leadership Team, welcoming Lyla Duck and Cody Butt as Captains, Rylee Henderson and Oliver Quinn as Vice Captains, and Lucy McGregor and Jack Keast as Prefects. We look forward to seeing them step into their new roles and represent JHS for the remainder of 2026 and throughout 2027.

To the Class of 2026, thank you for everything you've brought to Junee High. We wish you all the very best for your upcoming HSC exams and for whatever comes next.

Of course, we're not quite finished yet... we'll see you all tomorrow night for one final send-off at the School Ball!

🎭🌳 Year 12 Last Day! 🌳🎭

What a way to finish their final day together! Our Year 12s dressed up as different characters (and looked fantastic!), making the most of their last day at Junee High together.

They also left a very special gift behind for the school — a Silver Dollar Gum tree, planted out the front with a plaque featuring all of their names. A special parting gift that will continue to grow and be part of JHS for many years to come.

It was a great day for them all before we officially farewell the Class of 2026 at their Graduation Ceremony tomorrow. 🎓
