It was with mixed emotions that we farewelled our Class of 2021. The year was different to predicted, taught us all to manage uncertainty better, and created memories we didn’t expect.
The class of 2021 should be so proud of how they persisted with their learning, maintained friendships and kept trying. Whilst their final day was not what they had envisaged many traditions continued, but perhaps one most valued by the students was simply time to be together, in person.
We thank the students for all they have contributed to the life of OLMC over their years here and wish them all the best as they conclude their secondary school journey.
We know they will have a huge, and positive, impact in the community as they move into the next phase of their lives.
