Senior School Report – November 29, 2018
November 29, 2018
The Year 12s celebrated their Valedictory Dinner last Friday.- It is a great way to finish and good to celebrate when all the work that can be done has been done.- The Gym undergoes a massive transformation with a huge contribution from a large number of people.- In the end, we had a fine venue with 630 guests seated and the main course served in just 23 minutes.- A remarkable achievement.- There were many fine speeches, but none better than Grahame William’s message from the heart imploring us to let our sons know that we love them and are proud of them.- The night also contained time for parents and students to enjoy the conversation and company of friends whom they have journeyed with for up to 18 years.- It is always a little sad when it finishes as we know while there will be reunions, it is the last time the Class of 2018 will gather with so many members present.- We wish them all well with their diverse endeavours.
On Tuesday of this week, we held our Senior School Awards ceremony.- Here we recognized the efforts and talents of our Year 10s and 11s.- Congratulations to all award recipients, particularly Finn Lappin and Matthew Duffy, Dux of Year 10 and 11 respectively.- Some Senior Sports awards may have been received by Year 12s and some Intermediate awards may have been received by Year 9s, and so will not appear here.- Awards presented at special dinners were not re-presented at this time.- The awards presented are shown in the following tables.

Our Year 11s have finished the Head Start programme and have started their holidays.- They will all have work to do and it is best to do this now rather than try to resume after Christmas.- Students who return with all work done are well on the way to doing well in Year 12.- Last Monday we held an Information evening for parents of 2019 Year 12s.- The PowerPoint and more importantly the VCE Rules and Regulations 2019- handout may be obtained from the school website by going to https://www.stpats.vic.edu.au/en/students-parents-staff/curriculum/senior-school/
This information will be presented to the Year 11 and 12 students in 2019.
Our Year 10s will have exams through until Thursday.- We wish them well as they go through this process and develop their skills.
I finish by wishing all families a happy and safe Christmas and- New Year.- I look forward to working with many of you again in
