Year 12 Graduation – ‘Class of 2019’
The annual Year 12 Awards Ceremony was a special celebration, held on Thursday 24 October for the 2019 Merredin College graduating students. The Awards Night commenced with the Year 12 Leaving Class of 2019 being presented to a large audience and each student receiving their Leavers’ sash.
Principal Mr Alby Huts gave the students some sound words of wisdom and wishes for the future.
The valedictory speech given by Head Boy – Jack Downsborough and Head Girl – Chloe Coomber provided an insight into the cohort’s five years of secondary schooling including some of their antics they thought their teachers might now be able to handle.
The Dux of 2018 medallion was presented to Liana Craine, who also offered the graduating class some words of encouragement and advice as they choose their pathways.
Guest Speaker, Mrs Alli Butler from Bruce Rock, provided inspiration for the group with tales of her highs and lows navigating her way through life, searching for the “third door” into a career in drama and comedy.
One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of the Top Academic Achiever Awards and the Honours Awards as well as the renaming of the Most Consistent ATAR award in honour of the much missed Gerard Rennie. The Inaugural award was presented by Susan Rennie on behalf of the Rennie family in what was a beautiful moment for the whole community.
Merredin College congratulates these students and wishes them the very best for the future as they pursue further education and employment.
