INVESTITURE REIMAGINED

As the Senior students of the College, the Year 12 cohort bear the responsibility of leadership of our community. This is recognised at the beginning of the year at our Commencement Mass and Senior Investiture, where they receive their Senior badge, Pastoral Care Leader badge, and the Prefects receive their Prefect badge.

With the delayed start to activities on site at the beginning of the year, we had to rethink how we would mark the commissioning of our Senior school class – and keep it COVIDSafe.

The Year 12 students and their families gathered for an Investiture ritual in the Edmund Rice Mall, on the evening of Thursday 17 February. Led by College Chaplain Fr John Gillen SM, Director of Performing Arts

Ms Alexandra Khafagi and the Year 12 Choir, and witnessed on behalf of Nudgee College’s student body by the Boarding community, the Year 12 men took their leadership pledge, received their badges and were addressed by 2022 College Captain, Harry Roati. The recently refurbished Treacy Building and Edmund Rice and Old Boys’ malls, provided the perfect setting for this occasion.
