Student Leaders Handover Assembly
This week marked an important moment in the life of the College as our student leaders formally handed over leadership to those who will carry the responsibility in 2027. Through the Pledge of Leadership, the signing and handing over of the Captains’ tie, and the symbolic passing of the candle, Bible and College flag, our young men were reminded that these items represent far more than fabric or tradition. They carry with them our story, our values and the responsibility to lead with courage, service and humility. We wish Peeter Sheppard and his team all the best as they transition into what will be a successful 2027.
Big Brother/Little Brother Lunch
Despite the rain, it was wonderful to see our Year 5 students enjoy one final afternoon simply hanging out with their Year 12 Big Brothers. These opportunities for connection and brotherhood have been a special part of the year. A huge thank you to the staff who helped facilitate the afternoon and make this experience possible. We look forward to this growing tradition in future years.
Last Day of Year 12
This day has been approaching for some time. For some of our Seniors, they are ready to walk through the College gates for the final time; for others, the moment arrives with a tinge of sadness. A beautiful breakfast at the Full Moon was followed by meaningful House farewells, reflection and the opportunity to affirm one another as our young men took another step towards becoming Old Boys. We wish our Year 12 students every success in their upcoming exams and beyond, and our Year 11 students all the very best as they now take up the reins of leadership.
