Year 12 Farewell

It’s been a privilege to lead the Class of 2022. As their Year 7 Leader in 2017 I have very fond memories of their transition and first days at the College and had the pleasure of teaching many within the Arts. Being part of their development and seeing them grow from nervous juniors into strong confident women is an honour – one I will not forget.

There have been many highlights such as the Year 12 Retreat and Formal at the start of the year. This year we were also able to celebrate St Aloysius Day, Mercy Day and many other whole school events which had been impacted the previous 2 years due to the pandemic. Another highlight for these students is their rapport with their Year 12 teachers and their connection with friends. They have all supported each other through the demands of Year 12 and have navigated through the stressful times displaying dedication to their studies. I would like to wish each student the best of luck for their next chapter beyond St Aloysius. Remember to take on every opportunity and enjoy the many new experiences that await you. My sincere thanks to Year 12 teachers, for the guidance and support provided to the students and a big thank you to Ms Bloomfield, Ms Lonsdale, Ms Abelardo and Eden who helped deliver the Nourish program and also worked closely with the Year 12s throughout the year. Finally, a big thank you to the Year 12 Pastoral Team; Mr Needle, Ms Donato and Ms Valentine for all their support, dedication and commitment to our Year 12s.
