This week, our school community has joyfully celebrated Year 12 as they conclude their formal schooling.

On Tuesday, students set off on a Mystery Picnic Day excursion to Dubbo, where they tested their courage and teamwork in an adrenaline-filled day of paintball. Students and staff alike ducked, darted, and laughed their way across the field before enjoying a delicious BBQ together. The return trip to Mudgee was filled with stories, smiles, and a few colourful bruises to remember the day by.

On Wednesday, the Secondary School gathered for a heartfelt farewell assembly. This special occasion featured photo and video highlights of the students’ journey, touching Tutor Group messages, a farewell video from the Primary Campus, a beautiful Kindergarten Blessing, and performances from Stage 4 and 5. A crowd favourite—our staff dance video—rounded out the celebration, adding plenty of laughter and joy to the day. A highlight of the morning was the presentation of a $10,000 cheque to the Mudgee Men’s Shed—a remarkable fundraising effort by our Year 12 students over the year. Their generosity and community spirit were on full display.

We are so proud of Year 12 and all they have achieved. On behalf of the school, I wish them every success as they begin their HSC exams and step into the next exciting chapter of their lives.

Warm regards,

Emma Kurtz | Stage 6 Wellbeing Coordinator
