Farewell to Year 12 Students Our Year 12 students completed their formal classroom lessons this week and now have study leave to prepare for their final examinations. We farewelled the class at School on Wednesday, with a breakfast in the cafeteria, followed by formal House farewells, cuff-link presentations by fathers of Year 12 students who were also Old Boys, the Grammarians Association, followed by brunch. The day finished with a Leavers’ Service at St Mark’s Church, and a Valedictory Dinner at the MCG with parents and teachers. The day was mixed with emotion, excitement and memories for these students, who have been part of our lives for so long. It was wonderful to celebrate their years of schooling at CGS with them. We now wish these students all the very best as they prepare for their examinations, which begin for most students next Wednesday 31 October, with English. I take this opportunity to thank our Year 12 students for all that they have contributed to our school community in the time they have been with us. I remind them that we are all here and ready to help during their study leave, and I wish them all the very best for their examinations. Our Year 11 students now take on the mantle of leaders of the school, and I look forward to the contribution that they will make over the next twelve months.
