The focus of our past week has undoubtedly been farewelling our graduating class of 2022,  something that we have not been able to do as well as we would have liked over the previous 2 years because of the Pandemic. Tuesday and Wednesday saw the culmination of 13 years of formal classes for our graduating class of 2022 and we were able to provide a range of activities and ceremonies to ensure that they finished in fine style. This included a Pizza and Ice-cream lunch on Tuesday afternoon for Year 12 and staff, a cooked breakfast and whole school Farewell Mass on Wednesday morning and the Graduation Ceremony on Wednesday night. Thanks to all staff and the Year 11 Hospitality students for their support in organising and catering for the events over the past couple of days.  

At both our Farewell Mass and Graduation Ceremony, College Captains Eseta and Gabriel spoke passionately about the Mount Carmel Community and the role that families, peers and staff have played in their journey throughout the past 6 years. They, along with the other members of the Student Representative Council and their fellow HSC classmates, have ensured that the conclusion to what has been a difficult couple of years was done so in a very respectful and mature fashion. We congratulate Eseta and Gabriel on their presentation and thank them for their insights into what it means to be a student of Mount Carmel Catholic College and how their actions have reflected these words as role models for our college.

On behalf of each of the respective Pastoral Care teams, a huge thanks to all parents and carers for your support throughout what has again been an exciting and at times, challenging term. We hope that all families enjoy the break and that students take the opportunity to relax and refresh as we set ourselves for Term 4.
