Crossing the finish line of high school! 🏁🎓

​Today was full of emotion as our Grade 12 Matrics experienced their very last official day on campus. Mr Jacobson was on hand to wish each learner all the best for their final exams, presenting them with special best wishes cards on behalf of the school.

​Tomorrow we gather in the Blake Hall for our Valedictory Services and Prize Giving - always a happy-sad milestone that brings together years of hard work, laughter, and lasting memories. We hope tomorrow’s services are deeply meaningful for our Grade 12s as they take this big step forward.
