On Friday, our school celebrated our Grade 12 students as they prepare for their Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) exams, which take place over five weeks. Our smallest students presented farewell tais to our biggest students; a special reminder that we are one school, one community. We wish our students every success and extend our best wishes to all Grade 12 students across Timor-Leste who have begun their national exams. We also thanked H.E. Caitlin Wilson, Australian Ambassador to Timor-Leste, presenting her with a gift in recognition of her service to Timor-Leste as her tenure comes to an end.
