2022 Presentation Day

We also had the opportunity to formally welcome our senior leaders into their new leadership roles – they have stepped up to these roles with enthusiasm and we know they will be such great assets to the school over 2023.

Along with the opportunity to congratulate students on their outstanding results and achievements we also presented long standing staff with their service awards.

We very much appreciate the generosity of the local business and families who sponsored the student awards for our Presentation Assemblies. Our school is very grateful for the support each year and we encourage all students and families to reach out to and support these businesses.

In December we proudly conducted our Primary and Secondary Presentation Assemblies, allowing us to look back on the school year and celebrate our student achievements.

We provided a live feed of the assemblies, ensuring those family members unable to attend didn’t miss out. Our primary and secondary student leaders confidently took leading roles in MCing and assisting the assemblies.

Throughout both of the assemblies, we saw so many students who have embodied the School’s core values of Compassion, Respect and Integrity. Congratulations to all of those students who received awards.

We were wowed with a number of outstanding musical performances throughout the day and were especially grateful to hear the Jazz ensemble play, what a performance!

A special thank you to the generous sponsors of our Year Level Dux Awards.

Class of ‘22 APRIL EELES

April joined the illustrious 90+ ATAR club, also attaining a Band 6 result in PHDPE and joining the Distinguished Achievers list.

April says one of the major factors leading to her fantastic result was ‘my strong relationships with my teachers - they were very supportive and always push you to be your best’.

April’s advice to this year’s HSC students is to ‘listen in class, revise early and don’t leave things til the last minute!’.

Class of ‘22 DYLAN SCOBLE

Class of 2022 graduate and former school captain Dylan Scoble is doing something a little out of the ordinary this year. He has joined the team at MAG to undertake a year long Sports Ready Traineeship, where he’ll learn firsthand what teaching and mentoring students is all about.

Dylan is passionate about all things sporting, and hopes to go on to complete a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science at Deakin University in Geelong in 2024.

Dylan believes the ongoing support from the teaching staff as well as belonging to a small and supportive cohort allowed him to navigate the many obstacles of the last few years and to achieve solid educational outcomes.

His advice to our current senior students is to “enjoy and make the most of that last year of school – it all comes to an end very quickly”.

Class of ‘22 HAMISH SMITH

Hamish is another new entrant into the 90+ ATAR club and is thrilled to have commenced a double degree in agriculture and business at the University of new England in Armidale; he will attain an accounting degree on completion.

Hamish’s hard work has paid off - he was awarded a scholarship from the Gardiner Dairy Foundation that will assist him greatly with fees for the first three years of his degree! It has been quite a transition to university life after growing up on a farm near Undera, but is one that Hamish is relishing.

Hamish advises our senior students that ‘internal marks are important, each assessment counts - so don’t leave it all to exam time ... it could be too late’.

Class of ‘22 JAMES MYERS

James secured early entry to Swinburne University in Hawthorn and is currently undertaking a Bachelor of Engineering.

James is grateful for the opportunities that have opened up to him upon moving from Kyabram to Melbourne, and reminds our senior students to ‘work hard, but always keep aside time for yourself’.

James other passion is music and he has been a mainstay of the music scene at Moama Anglican Grammar, playing piano in ensembles, bands and solo performances. It will certainly be difficult to find another musician of his calibre to fill his shoes!

Class of ‘22 NIAH BACON

Niah has wanted to join the Australian Defence Force since attending an information session at school in Year 10... and in 2023, her dream is coming true!

Niah is currently based in Kapooka, outside of Wagga Wagga, completing an ADF Gap Year as an Army Support Officer. This means she will end up gaining valuable experience as either a driver, warehouse coordinator or in administration.

Niah’s not sure where her gap year will lead her, but hopes to pursue a role in the ADF that involves plenty of travel.

Niah’s advide to our senior students is to ‘not let your marks define you... there are many different ways to get to where you want to be’.

Class of ‘22 TAJ ELLIOTT

Taj got a headstart on his career, commencing a traineeship with Peat Partners in Echuca last November after finishing up his HSC. Taj plans to study commerce this year in conjuction with his traineeship. He feels he’ll have the best of both worlds - learning key skills on the job, and studying online toward a degree at the same time.

For Taj, working with numbers and equations makes sense - the idea of there being a place for everything brings him a sense of accomplishment. And he is looking forward to applying what he has learned at work to his university studies.

Taj offers the following advice to our senior students, ‘take time to reflect and appreciate everything in the moment...it will all change before you know it.’
