Principal Stuart Meade congratulated the Flinders Year 12 cohort for striving for excellence in life and learning throughout their senior years.
“Flinders’ Year 12 graduates have worked hard to realise their academic potential, particularly in their final year, while simultaneously experiencing the breadth of co-curricular opportunities available to them at a quality school such as Flinders,” Mr Meade said.
“We are confident that our graduates will similarly embrace the next phase of their lives beyond our College as they explore their tertiary and career interests, and contribute to making the world a better place,” he said.
“Our whole Flinders community supports our Year 12 graduates and wishes them well.”
