25.01.2022 The College's Year 12 Valedictory was a magical evening last night, held at the College's Chapel and OTT area for the first time. It was an event that these students, parents and staff in attendance will cherish forever and forms an important part of the farewell journey for the College's Year 12 students who finished their schooling with us today. Here is a selection of shots from the night. Well done to all Year 12 students involved!

21.01.2022 Today is National Agriculture Day which is a day is designed to start a conversation between farmers and the community to better connect all Australians with agriculture and the people behind it. To celebrate National Agricultural Day this year, WestMAC students participated in an initiative run by Rural Aid. The aim of this initiative was to bring the city and the country together this Christmas by creating and sending handmade Christmas cards to farmers all over Australia.... SpiritED students in both Middle and Senior and some Junior School students have been busy making beautiful Christmas cards for farmers. This tied in perfectly with the focus of this term giving back to the local community and creating a lens of gratitude. Here are some of their designs. Some students even wished farmers the best gift of all this Christmasrain.

21.01.2022 It was a special surprise for the College's Year 12 cohort today as they began their final ever term of schooling. In recognition of the initiative of College captains Rupert Lupton and Jennifer Hoare to present the Year 11 cohort with special "Class of '21" badges recently as a passing of the baton moment, a special secret was unveiled at Chapel today. The 2020 Year 12s were all presented with their own "Class of '20" badges by College staff. Students will be able to wear these badges on their ties for their final term as WestMAC students. The College wishes them all the very best for their upcoming external exams.

11.01.2022 Community Announcement from the Deputy Principal I am delighted to advise that a story acknowledging the wonderful work of WestMAC’s Dell Rathbone is scheduled to air on The Project (Channel 10 at 6.30pm) this evening. A teacher for 66 years, 82 year old Dell has educated three generations of Queensland students and is not done yet. On the eve of World Teacher’s Day 2020, Dell received the Betty Watts OAM Memorial Award for Outstanding Contribution to Teaching. Celebrating De...ll’s success in achieving this coveted award has brought much joy to Dell, her family, her students (current and former) as well as our entire WestMAC Community. She remains an integral member of the International Students Program and a highly regarded, valued and respected WestMAC teacher. Tonight we have the rare honour of celebrating Dell’s stellar teaching career on a national stage. I encourage all members of the WestMAC community to switch on Channel 10 this evening and join with us as we proudly salute Dell’s remarkable career. Please understand that whilst the story is scheduled to air tonight, there is a chance it may be moved, particularly if there is late breaking news.
