24.01.2022 Congratulations to all Year 12s across the city who finish their exams today The Mercedes College Year 12 cohort was among those studying online at a critical time, in the midst of a pandemic, and the college was pleased that many students received early university offers including Georgia Gillibrand who received the prestigious Bond University Vynka Hohnen Scholarship valued at more than $100,000. Students enjoyed their final day of school in October celebrating academic a...chievements before a morning tea and whole-of-college farewell. St George’s Anglican Grammar School students responded to the pandemic with wit, creativity, righteous anger, activism and gritty determination. Staff sent weekly support videos, and the graduating class of 2020 will be remembered for adaptability, flexibility, grace, values and skills that will place them in good stead for the next stage of their lives. We hope you all enjoy a safe and refreshing Leavers!
