Edition 29 | 16th September 2020

The end of term 3 approaches with special consideration in 2020, as our Year 12 students prepare for their final days in the classroom and the ceremonies that will mark a traditional end of their first 13 years of formal education. Traditions matter, they tell us who we are.

This year, many of the traditions that accompany the final year at school have been compromised, not the least of which are next week’s graduation ceremonies. Some are being live streamed, some are postponed and all are without parents. As we focus on tradition in this edition, the last in our series of reflections on our foundational values, let us pray for our graduating class of 2020 and all of the students in our schools as we open them up to witness through our religious tradition and school foundations.
