Final Message to Class of 2022 - You are not your final result!

The graduating Year 12 Classes of 2022 are presently in limbo during these current weeks. Exams are over. Phew! The guilt of not studying is no longer lingering in the background. Yet results are not out and that means, for many, uncertainty about course choice remains. Even if early offers are all sorted lots of students are still waiting for the December round to see what doors their ATAR opens. Feel good about what you did now, before the results come out. If you felt you could have worked harder, then take that with you for the next challenge and rectify what you could have done differently. If you felt you gave it your best shot, then feel proud of that, regardless of what your ATAR is. Never forget the sole purpose of the ATAR is only to get you access to a course. The higher your ATAR, the more courses you have access to. It is that simple. It is never a measure of intelligence, future success, career-joy or happiness in life. One of the smartest people I know got an ATAR of 56. Equally I know those who got over 99+ with no more chance of career enjoyment, just a longer line of doors open to them.

On a personal note we have loved working with the Class of 2022. I look forward to hearing about their careers, their ideas and new ventures as they leave our school grounds, but remain part of our school foundations.
