Year 12 students participated in their final class mass and a tree planting ceremony in the College grounds. On Tuesday 24 October, the Graduation of the Class of 2017 took place with hundreds of students, staff and family members present. On behalf of the entire community, I extend our best wishes to all students over the forthcoming examination period.
