I was honoured to attend the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Gold Ceremony at Government House on Friday, 28 November 2025. The event was graciously hosted by Her Excellency, the Honourable Barbara Baker AC.

This year, five of our College students achieved the prestigious Gold Award: Ella Fischer (2024), Lily Ayre, Saskia Boden, Mollie Gray, and Sophie Marshall. While Ella was unable to attend as she is currently studying in the USA, her achievement is equally celebrated.

It was a truly memorable occasion, with our students surrounded by the support of family and friends. Their dedication and perseverance in completing the Gold Award is commendable and reflects the values we strive to uphold at the College.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all our Awardees and their families and wish everyone a joyful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
