Celebration Evening – Monday 30th November, 6.45 – 8.45pm
Celebration Evening is an important, formal event and attendance is compulsory for all Year 7-11 students. Students are to meet their Pastoral Leader at the venue no later than 6.15pm and the event will commence promptly at 6.45pm. Information of venue and registration for tickets has already been shared with our parents and carers via ‘Engage’.
Please note, parents are limited to booking two tickets, not including students as they will be seated separately to families. It is still necessary for parents and carers to complete the Consent 2 Go acknowledgement as soon as possible, which has information regarding the venue and time.
The awards presented at the evening range from Sports ACS competition ‘Most Valuable Player’ as voted by the coaches, through to top academic achievements for each subject at each Year Level. Awards celebrating NAPLAN excellence at Year 9 and co-curricular endeavours across Years 7-11 such as debating competitions, art, fashion prize winners, and state level excellence for languages.
Awards of Distinction are special awards highlighting students’ personal qualities and are in recognition of acts of service. Mercy Spirit Awards, Community Connect Awards, are presented to students showing leadership, courage and kindness in our community as nominated by Pastoral Leaders, teachers and Year Level Leaders.
Performances by our Frayne Festival Voice Choir, musicians and public speakers displays the diverse skill of our students and ensures an entertaining evening. The importance of achievement acknowledgement is powerful not only for the students on stage and the award recipients but for the observing students, which influence individual character, inspire resilience and diligence and impact the broader college culture. The formal, compulsory nature of Celebration Evening needs to be supported by all in our community if we truly believe our College Motto ‘Ad Altiora, Strive for Higher Things’.
Whilst Year 8 students will be leaving for Canberra the next morning, we believe the early start and finish time accommodates this commitment. We remind all students to wear full academic uniform on the night.
