We were pleased to witness our Year 12 graduates receive their results and, for many, see their delight and pride in their accomplishments—a testament to their hard work and commitment. While the overall cohort results were slightly below expectations compared to previous years, the Class of 2024 demonstrated perseverance and resilience, with many individual success stories to celebrate.

We commend the Class of 2024 on their results and we wish them every success as they embark on the next chapter of their lives. Behind these accomplishments stands a partnership between our dedicated and caring staff and the families who have supported their sons throughout their schooling. It has been a privilege to journey with each young man, witnessing his growth morally, intellectually, and spiritually. For educators, this shared journey is a source of profound joy, and we are proud of the graduates of 2024.
