Graduation - Class of 2026

GRADUATION HANDBOOK Year 12 | 2026

All you need to know for your child’s final week and Graduation at Corpus Christi College.

WWW.CORPUS.WA.EDU.AU/GRADUATION

Dear Parents and Guardians, Graduation is almost here. Our Year 12 students are about to close one important chapter and begin the next, stepping beyond the gates of Corpus Christi College and into the wider world. Throughout their time here, they have made a lasting impact on our community, and now it is time to celebrate their achievements.

This handbook is your guide to all of the Graduation events. Inside, you will find everything you need to know, including dates, times, locations, and what is expected of students during this special time.

Graduation is more than just a ceremony; it is a celebration of growth, friendships, and the remarkable journey each student has taken. We want to ensure this milestone is memorable for all the right reasons, so we ask that students continue to represent themselves and the College with pride, uphold the College Values, and treat one another and College property with care and respect.

We look forward to celebrating this occasion with you and your family. Thank you for your support in helping us give the Class of 2026 the send-off they deserve.

Please remember to RSVP for the Graduation activities, including the Assembly, Morning Tea, and Graduation Mass, via the Graduation Website by Friday 25 September.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,

Mr Nathaniel Jackson Head of Year 12

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT – EXPECTATIONS As our Year 12 students prepare to conclude their time with us, we encourage families to support them in living out our College Values with pride and maturity. On Legacy Day, we invite parents to join in the celebrations by collecting students at 12:30pm, rather than students driving themselves home. This allows the day to end in a safe and positive way for all. Graduation festivities are a time of joy, reflection, and togetherness. We ask for your partnership in ensuring all activities uphold our College Values and the Student Code of Conduct, so this milestone is remembered for all the right reasons. Thank you for taking a moment to speak with your child about the importance of celebrating respectfully.
