Farewell Yr 12!
We are filled with mixed emotions as we bid farewell to each one of you who graduated yesterday. Your musical talents and unwavering dedication have graced our halls with beautiful melodies and unforgettable performances, and your achievements have shone brilliantly throughout this past week and beyond. As you step into the next chapter of your lives, remember that music will always be a part of who you are, and your legacy here will continue to inspire generations to come.
Congratulations, Year 12s, and may you always remember how music can enrich your life, no matter what path you take.
