Year 12 Graduation
Year 12 Graduation looked a little different this year, but there was definitely magic in the air on 23 September when we celebrated the sterling achievements of the Class of 2020
As the 2021 College Captain, Flora Tucker said: “Today is a celebration of Brigidine excellence within Year 12, and we are proud to share their achievements with you, and most importantly, to celebrate each student for who they are, here and now.” The Class of 2020 have experienced a year unlike any other, which made this occasion even more special. Our goal in reimagining this assembly was to preserve elements of our usual traditions, whilst ensuring that our parent and friends’ community could still feel part of such a significant milestone. So, this was the motivation behind changing the format, so that we could take time to honour each Year 12 student for their unique contribution to the College. The accolades the students received were many and varied and reinforced that when these young women venture into the world beyond Brigidine, they will be agents for positive change who engage compassionately with the world. The charity which was chosen by the students ‘Camp Magic’ exemplified the importance of relationships and connection. The fact that Year 12 students were able to inspire the community to donate more than $20,000 for such a worthy cause is testimony to their drive and determination. As an educator, it was truly a joy and privilege to be able to showcase the creative talent and honour the girls’ outstanding cocurricular and academic achievements, which have been of an exceptionally high standard. Throughout the Assembly, we celebrated an array of exemplary works in Visual Arts, Drama, Dance, Music, Textiles and Design, Science Extension, Society and Culture, English Extension and History Extension. I would like to congratulate our outgoing Year 12 students for the optimism, creativity, willingness and tenacity they have demonstrated this year. The girls’ 20/20 vision and focus has provided them with the clarity necessary to be successful, even through these uncertain times. We are confident that they graduated with a determination to making a difference to the world.
