COVID-19 remains a concern following the lockdown in South Australia.
We continue to take the necessary precautions here at the College in line with NSW regulations. It will be interesting to see how COVID restrictions are managed in 2021.
It was pleasing therefore to be able to hold a very successful Graduation Event last week for students and families. Over 700 people were in attendance in an outdoor event on the top oval. We were blessed with an evening of no rain despite a storm being predicted earlier in the day. The event was televised live on THACTV with a large audience watching. Thank you to all those who have given us positive feedback and many thanks to the organising team. On Tuesday the Year 12’s attended their Formal in the city which was a great evening of celebrations and reflection. We wish these students well as they await their HSC results and look forward to their new opportunities ahead.
One of the 20th Anniversary projects is to lay down a Time Capsule, filled with memories of the College from the first 20 years and with contributions from the current students and staff. We intend to open the capsule in 20 years’ time. Today we broke ground with four Year 1 students in preparation to bury the capsule in the next few weeks. We will compile some footage of the event and activities leading up to and including the day the Time Capsule is laid down.
Orientation events have been held across the College recently. It has been great to see new students coming to visit the College in anticipation for next year. Webinars for the Parent Information Sessions have been held, and we have appreciated everyone adapting so well to the new processes.
Academic Reports are nearing completion and will be ready for issue in the next week or so. The end of year Celebration evenings will this year be held online and more details will be sent to you.
Thanks again for your support of the College in such a different year.
