Congratulations to the Class of 2022! Throughout their journey at Ave Maria College they have shown a dedication to their studies and compassion for the wider College community.
They are to be commended for their willingness to apply themselves to their studies and to make the most of their final year with their peers. All students showed commitment to Helene’s educational vision of excellence, and endeavour, working to achieve their individual and unique goals.
As the Graduating Class of 2022, they modelled a strong selfunderstanding and sense of purpose, working with the careers team to select pathway options that matched their interests, goals, strengths and talents. Their post-secondary school courses are diverse, representing a wide range of career interests and future pathways that are ever evolving.
I would also like to acknowledge the support and generousity of our families and College staff. Our families and staff embodied the 2022 College theme, For it is in giving that we receive. Through their guidance, advocacy and support they assisted this group of students to grow and thrive to become who they are today. For this we say thank you.
We wish this group of inspiring graduates every success and happiness as they leave the College and enter the wider community, becoming the positive change they want to see in the world.
May we continue to ‘Strive for Truth through Love.’
Yours faithfully,
College Dux
