Farewell Class of 2022

By Jane Grlj, Director of Marketing and Communications

As our Year 12 students finished their formal classes, we celebrated their time at Korowa through a series of special services and events.

The Korovian Leavers’ Service formally welcomed students into the Korovian Club. The Celebration Morning activities brought friends in the Beatrice K. Guyett Assembly Hall one last time and the Tulip Assembly was attended by families, staff and students in what is always a time of reflection and thanks for the years spent as a student at Korowa. This was followed by the Valedictory Dinner at the Hawthorn Arts Centre on a night for students, parents and staff to relax and enjoy one another's friendship prior to the start of the VCE exams.

It was our new Principal Mrs Frances Booth who officiated at these events, having only been at Korowa for just a few weeks. She found being part of these events was a wonderful introduction to Korowa’s community. At the Tulip Assembly we heard from our Year 12 Leaders including Maggie, our International Captain who said “I understand how challenging it is, to put yourself out there…I am inspired by all your courage and hard work”.

As Mrs Booth farewelled the Class of 2022 she said “I think I already know what my biggest regret will be as Principal of Korowa, and that is, I never got to know you better”. She went on to say, “in the wonderful words of Dr Seuss, no one is youer than you, so go out and be you, believe in you, you can conquer the world. The future is quite definitely, yours”.
