Year 12 Graduation ‘Class of 2017’
Our Year 12 Class of 2017 officially attended their final day of school on Thursday 12 October. The following morning they were all invited to share a special morning tea at school with staff where Funny Awards and Appreciation Awards were exchanged. A special thanks goes out to Mrs Newton, Mrs Willis, Mrs Barrass and the Hospitality class who prepared a delicious morning tea.
On Friday 20 October the Year 12 students attended the Cummins Theatre along with their families, staff, special guests and sponsors from the community to celebrate their graduation. The night’s proceedings commenced with the presentation of the 2016 Merredin College Dux Award to Trent Starcevich who acheived an impressive ATAR of 97.6% last year. The Guest speaker for the event was Brady Flockart, also an ex-student of Merredin College, who shared with guests some of his challenges and achievements since leaving school.
Head-boy and Head-girl Joshua Dixon and Lauren Barrass presented Mrs Stanes with a flat screen TV for the College as the Year 12 leaving gift to the school. The TV has been placed in the front office to display photos from school events. We would like to especially thank our sponsors for making themselves available at this special ceremony to present the Highest Achievement and Honour Awards for 2017.
