Year 12 Graduation
On Friday, the 15th of November, we celebrated the final day of school for our Year 12 Class of 2024! The day began with a Graduation Breakfast, where each student received a book of photos capturing key moments from their journey at our college. Students then gathered for the tree-planting ceremony. Mrs. Petersen shared words about resilience and growth, likening the new tree to the next chapter in their lives.
The Graduation Ceremony brought the day’s celebrations to a peak. Each student walked onto the stage with their staff mentor, who shared personal words of encouragement and a Bible verse chosen especially for them. Students received their certificates, followed by a Guard of Honour, where they walked through the school while younger students lined the path, cheering them on. The day wrapped up with families gathering for snacks, photos, and memories to hold onto.
Congratulations, Class of 2024! May God bless and guide each of you on the path ahead.

This week at SMC Playgroup, we hosted a cooking class run by Mission Australia. The children made mini pizzas and fruit skewers. It was great to see them having fun and trying new healthy foods they wouldn’t usually eat at home.
