Alumni Farewell Year 12s of 2020

Alumni Farewell Year 12s of 2020

Congratulations on completing year 12 at Saint Ignatius College and making it through a year like no other. The challenges you’ve faced are extraordinary and like we keep hearing in the news- unprecedented.

As you’ve been able to rise above the hardships of the year I hope you know that you’ve had the support and backing of a great College community, that offers you a strong foundation for what comes next in your life.

I wish you all the best for what you choose following high school and welcome you into the continuing support of the College through the Alumni association. There may still be uncertainty in your life and the transition from Saint Ignatius can be both daunting and exciting, but know there is a community to help offer advice and connection whenever you need it.

Regards,

Hey Class of 2020, congrats on getting through a tough year...And I thought the worst way to spend Year 12 was being a Hawthorn supporter having to put up with Mrs Chidzey gloating about the Cats - but you guys have taken the cake!

Seriously though, my final year at school was quite tough as well with the deaths of a couple of classmates, but it made me the person I am today and also resulted in me forging a lot of strong friendships.

I cannot imagine what this year would have been like, but see it as a learning experience and turn it into a positive - it could be the making of you.

All the best and hopefully see you at a function post Covid!

Farewell to Year 12 and welcome as Saint Ignatius College Alumni: 'Old Ignatians'

VCE coordinator words of support to Year 12 students. 

This year has been full of challenges for the Year 12 students of Saint Ignatius Geelong. For those who have been studying in their final year and those undertaking accelerated unit 3/4 studies the Covid-19 crisis has provided a number of hurdles along the way. Our staff have work tirelessly to provide the best remote learning program for our students to continue to achieve their best. While at times this was hard, our students have demonstrated great resilience in continuing and adjusting to the new environment that they faced. 

There have been a number of set backs and disappointments along the way with the social and fun aspects of their final years study significant altered to that previous years have experienced, but we have all worked together to try and make a lot of them their final year a memorable one. 

With the final weeks counting down to the end of year exams we are continuing to provide valuable feed back and help in our students push to get over the line in what has been, for all of us, a hard year.
