On Monday the 15th November, we celebrated the successes and achievements of our Year 12 students at the Starplex complex at Gawler. In addition, 12 Flexible Learning students also graduated, our highest number ever.
The evening was packed with incredibly proud staff and families as students collected their graduation certificates wearing graduation gowns. The resilience and commitment of these students should be commended as they navigated successfully through the pandemic over the last two years.
Thank you to our dignitaries, Ilia Tsoutouras (Education Director), Tony Piccolo (MP, Member for Light), Glenn Docherty (Mayor of Playford), Carey Simms (Smith Family), Kym Grant (Principal) Governing Council Chair (Lee Russell), Governing Council members, parents, caregivers, staff and other supporters who have all played a vital role in the successful outcomes and personal growth of these students.
We are very proud of all your achievements, your determination, your dedication, your resilience and grit. We admire your ‘can do’ attitudes. Always remember this as you journey through your lives beyond school.
From the Mark Oliphant Community.
