We congratulate Christopher Stasos College Captain and College Dux 2009 for his outstanding HSC and ATAR results. We wish him every success in his university studies and what will no doubt be a brilliant career. We congratulate Mark Xin, Prefect 2009 who together with Christopher was a Top All Rounder in the HSC. Indeed in their presence we commend the whole of the HSC Class of 2009 for their results, and we look forward to following their future progress through life. I repeat my challenge to the HSC Class of 2010 - To seize every opportunity to maximise your marks, achieving the best HSC result of the decade. You certainly have the capacity to do this - as is evident from your School Certificate results and last year’s preliminary examinations. The real test for you is whether you have the maturity and strength of character to dare to do the best you can do, and to be the best you can be. We your teachers and parents are here to help. But the journey and the challenge are yours - as individuals and as a group. At St Spyridon College, we cultivate academic success, naturally. Which school does not? But our students are “not just taught how best to pass a test” to quote Alexander Vatiliotis College Captain 2010. Above all, we have the ambition to contribute powerfully to the development of our students’ whole personality - mind, body and soul. Our ultimate goal is that the young people who enter this Church with pride and zeal - in other words with faith - will create a better world than the one we have put into their hands. We say in our school literature that St Spyridon is about building young lives.
