YEAR SIX RITE OF PASSAGE
What a lovely way to end our year with the Year 6 Rite of Passage at the End of Year Mass with our College community. The Year 6 students were involved in various ways throughout the service – reading, welcoming, Acknowledgment of Country, singing, acting out the Gospel story of feeding the 5000 and reading the prayers of the faithful. All Year 6 students were congratulated individually as they received their Rite of Passage certificate from their class teacher and Prep buddy, before moving to have a cohort photo. The College community then clapped and cheered as these students walked through a guard of honour created by the Junior School students. This ritual signifies the end of their junior

school journey as they continue into the senior school next year. Two representatives of the Senior College leaders, Jaymee Suliman and Anabel Austin, welcomed the Year 6 students to the Senior School as they continued their walk through another guard of honour by the senior students. Junior leaders, Quinn Dungey and Adele Adams then cut a cake before letters from parents to their child and letters from the child to their parent were shared. Thank you to all parents for your contribution to this significant milestone in your child’s educational journey. We are all grateful for this opportunity to share as a community after such a challenging year of restrictions.
