We have come to the end of the 2022 academic year with the conclusion of the examination period this week and we now look forward next week with the Headstart program, the annual College Awards event, A Night to Shine on Thursday evening and the final College Mass next Friday 2 December.

I trust that our students and staff feel a strong sense of satisfaction with all that they have been able to achieve this year, despite some of the challenges we have faced. There is much for which we can be grateful and much has been achieved in 2022. It has been wonderful to have been able to engage in a full academic year with all the co-curricular activities that enrich school life.
