Graduation Ceremony 2022

Friday 21 October, Adelaide Convention Centre

“This is the conclusion of our schooling journey; however, it is only the beginning of our lives; there is still so much to do, so much to see, and so much more to experience. As we continue along this new path of our lives, following wherever the twists and turns lead us, one thing we must never forget is this school and the people who joined and supported us on this extraordinarily memorable journey.” “I have loved attending Mercedes College, not only because of my peers, but the learning. The teachers at this school have fostered this love in us and dedicated their time and effort into making sure that we understand learning does not stop once exams finish or you receive your ATAR. Learning is a skill and opportunity that we get to continuously develop for the rest of our lives.” “There are two things we can all agree on this year: the school work has been both difficult and relentless, and we couldn’t have made it here without the support of our families. As the voice for all the graduates to our families, thank you for giving us the opportunity to receive an education at Mercedes. We hope we’ve made you proud.”

Jack Braddy, 2022 College Captain “Some say that there are friends, there are family, and there are friends who become family. What is so special about this cohort is our connection, our culture, and our love for our home: Mercedes. In any new chapter we open, and any adventures we begin; no matter where we go we will always find our way back home.”

Amelie Finnimore, 2022 College Captain
