On Tuesday, December 10, we gathered to celebrate the academic achievements, talents, and dedication of our students at St Edward’s. The Awards Ceremony honours the hard work and commitment of boys in Years 7-11 throughout the school year.

The performing arts are an essential part of our students' overall educational experience. Many of our boys possess exceptional talents in these areas, and they are nurtured and supported by our dedicated and passionate Performing Arts faculty.

At St Edward’s, we are deeply committed to creating a supportive learning environment where all students feel welcome and cared for. Over the past two years, the majority of our staff have participated in a Mental Health First Aid course, facilitated by our qualified College Counsellors, Marcus and Terase.

Year 10 will soon embark on a three-week Work Experience and Skills Development Program, starting on Monday, November 25. This program offers students a valuable opportunity to engage with the real world and develop essential work readiness and entrepreneurial skills

Over the last school holidays Ms Terase Killin, Mr Alex Powell and Mr Alex Rozario, Harvey Olsen, Max Judd, Oscar Woolford, Max Oteiwi, Nicholas Husk, Jonte Wicks, Jaden Roesch, Logan Treble (students from Year 11) and I attended the Immersion to Nairobi, Kenya. The theme of the Immersion was Kesheni, which means ‘Stay Awake’ in Swahili.

This week we say goodbye to our Year 12 students as they conclude their formal classes and shift their focus to final preparations for the HSC Examinations. This remarkable group of young men has upheld the tradition of excellence that defines our school.
