Year 12 marked the end of their formal classes with three very special ceremonies this week. The first of these ceremonies was the Graduation Mass. This was the final time Year 12 students  gathered as a group with their parents and family members to celebrate the Eucharist at St Edward’s College. The theme for this mass was Young Men with Purpose, which has been the Year 12 Pastoral Theme for the year. On Thursday, the St Edward’s Old Boys Union provided a breakfast for the Year 12 students to officially welcome them into the Old Boys fraternity. A whole school academic assembly followed this breakfast, where we acknowledged students for their academic endeavours. First and second place in each course and various special awards in leadership and service were presented and the Dux of the 2019 year is announced. Congratulations to all the award winners for their sustained efforts throughout the HSC Year. We wish all of Year 12 the very best of luck in their final exams and look forward to seeing them at the HSC End of Year BBQ on Monday 17 December.

Modibodi underwear are sustainable, protective, leak-proof and comfortable.  They will provide the women in Kenya with confidence and comfort along with the dignity of hygiene.  Through their Modibodi Gives Back Program, the company will donate two pairs of underwear for every virtual pair voucher purchased. If you would like to help our cause, please follow this link https://www.modibodi.com/pages/modibodi-gives-back and for every ‘virtual pair’ voucher purchased, Modibodi will donate two pairs of physical underwear and ship them to the College in one big shipment prior to our departure. In order for this to happen before we leave, use the link to purchase a ‘Virtual Pair’ voucher before close of business Monday 16 September, then email your receipt to shadihaddad@modibodi.com and mention that you wish for your order to be included in the St Edward’s College Kenya order.  Shadi will then collate all our College community orders and get them to us before we leave.  We hope this will be a great help to our Women for Women organisation in Kenya.  Thank you in anticipation!

Last Monday and Tuesday were very exciting for the Music Department. On Monday we had our Year 11 and 12 Performance Evening with approximately 80 parents, teachers and friends in attendance. The boys were a touch nervous, but were well supported and exhibited some truly memorable performances which highlighted the skills and hard work which has gone into their pieces so far this year. Year 12, of course, also gained a valuable rehearsal in front of a live audience prior to their exam in a couple of weeks’ time. As the theatre was already decked out with instruments, amps, lights and smoke machines (courtesy of our amazing Year 11 and 12 Entertainment students), we decided it would be fun to put on a performance showcase the very next day in back to back concerts for our Year 7 and 8 students. Our Year 9 and 10 electives were simply amazing. The selected pieces ranged from Beethoven to Green Day and had our junior students clapping and singing along! Many thanks to Mrs Emmett (and the Entertainment students) and Mr Droz  for their assistance and support with both of these events.   [smallgallery fooid="21007"]   Years 9 and 10 Performances [embed]https://youtu.be/8be4uKnVUC0[/embed]   Years 11 and 12 Evening Performances [embed]https://youtu.be/nnYogC6iZZE[/embed]
