Our year 12s set the standard for final day celebrations
On any given day it would not be normal to see a large, fluffy bunny rabbit or two super-sized sumo wrestlers wondering the corridors of Mount Clear College. However, last Thursday was no ordinary day; it was the final day of classes for our year 12 students. Students traded-in their uniforms for a colourful and spectacular array of costumes: a giant lobster, pirates, movie characters and angels were among the sights to be seen.
In a tradition that continues to evolve, the year 12s staged an afternoon concert in front of parents, teachers and students where they performed for the college community in a celebratory and jovial spirit. Under the watchful eye of production manager Jamie Dew-Griffin, students performed to Katie Perry songs, Michael Jackson's Thriller and Candy Man by Christina Aguilera. The Jack Vagg soccer cup was presented to the students by Mr Loynes, after they defeated the teachers 3-1 in last week's annual teacher-student match.
The concert finished with the year 12s completing a lap through the gymnasium where they were able to farewell their fellow students. Afterwards, students and parents were invited to enjoy an afternoon tea before heading home. However, the day was not yet over. The students then attended the year 12 dinner, which this year was held at the Mid-City Motor Inn, where they enjoyed an evening with each other and their teachers.
With so much attention over the past weeks on schools that have experienced trouble with so-called 'muck-up' day events, it was really pleasant to see our college enjoy the day in positive and fun-filled manner. It was not only enjoyed by our departing year 12s, but by the college community as a whole.
As the year 12 exams are about to start we'd like to wish our students all the best as they continue to prepare and study for what is a demanding time of the year. With the corridors of Lalor a bit quieter these days our attention will soon turn to our year 11s; the transition into year 12 and the election of our next college captains.
On behalf of all the teaching staff I'd like to wish all our students well as we prepare for the end of the year in the coming weeks and months.
