James Bakker - Learning Coordinator

In Year 11 classes this year, the upending of the norms of learning and working, which we have all experienced, was met head on by both students and staff.

The Year 11s have shown themselves to be resilient and capable. Their willingness to embrace opportunities and their acceptance of cancellations and changes in plans will stand them in good stead later in life.

Of note is the leadership displayed by so many this year. In formal roles such as House Captains, as well as through participation in liturgies, sporting teams events and activities - the way the students have conducted themselves has been impressive.

Outstanding leadership and personal capabilities also shone through in the speeches presented for leadership positions for 2022. Rarely have I seen such a broad and consistently excellent presentation of ideals, values and hope for the future.

The students have grown and developed individually and as a group. Through their studies and their participation in different activities they have developed their understanding of themselves and their relationships with others. This is a group of young people who put the Good Samaritan values of care for neighbour into action, through the support they show for each other and their engagement with the community.

I am proud of them, and they should be too.
