The final half of Term Four has been an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of many of our students. The Year 5 Rite of Passage was a fitting farewell to students moving from Junior to Middle School and recognised the strengths and talents they have shared with us on their journey so far.
We welcomed new students to the Junior School during Week 9, when all students participated in a transition morning, meeting their teachers and class group for 2022.
To finish our week, we celebrated the Prayer and Presentation Assembly, awarding Caritas, Endeavour, Academic Excellence and High Achievement Awards. We also presented our special awards and congratulated the following students.
- Sports Allrounder Award - Awel Malou
- Arts Award - Jolie Hakizimana
- Global Citizenship Award - Ali Hussaini
- Mary Woznitza Award - Maddison Chamings
- St Columba Medals - Nathan Robertson and Charlotte Brown

As the year draws to a close and we reflect on our year with gratitude, it is timely to thank those staff leaving our Junior School. Mr Andrew Getgood, Mrs Rachel Delaney, Mrs Verona McDonald and Mr Aidan Oliver have contributed to the life of our College in many ways. We thank them for their dedicated service and deep care and support for our students. We also say farewell to students and families leaving us and thank them for their partnership and support in working together to help every child achieve their fullest potential.
Finally, to all our staff who have shown outstanding commitment, resilience, care and compassion for supporting the wellbeing and learning of our students this year, we say thank you. Despite the challenges and unpredictability of the 2021 year and COVID19, they have worked seamlessly as a team to ensure consistency and care for students, families, and each other.
May you all have a blessed Christmas filled with peace, joy and love.
Mrs Julie Hancock | Head of Junior School
