Congratulations to the USC 2023 Graduates

The 2023 Year 12 University Senior College Graduates have excelled, and their results are testimony to their dedication, resilience and commitment to reach their personal best. They have demonstrated their capacity to learn, conquer challenges and develop their capabilities as effective communicators, leaders and collaborators, and their ability to think critically and act ethically. They are ready for the next phases of their lives, and we celebrate them.
