The Class of 2019 have raised the bar through the contributions they made for us, which will leave a mark on the College for years to come. We’ve raised our awareness of the environment and the contributions we can make towards our world. We have developed a better understanding of our Positive Learning Partnerships, through their actions and example. We have seen how we can all pursue excellence in our own ways, because they showed us how to grow together, as per our College theme in 2019, We Grow Together.

This year, we will not only strive to take their contributions with us, but take them a step further. Use the talents we have been gifted with, take the passions we hold in our hearts, and use our hands as people of action to move ourselves and each other forward to our goals.
