Year 12s Celebrate 100 Days Until Graduation with Special Breakfast and 'Comfy' Clothes Day

This week, the Year 12 cohort celebrated 100 days until graduation with a special breakfast and a 'Comfy' Clothes Day, hosted by the 2024 College Captains and Vice Captains. This celebration was more than just a day of comfort—it offered the Year 12 cohort an opportunity to create memorable experiences as they approach the end of their journey at Pacific. The idea of a comfortable (comfy) clothes day was highly requested by the students, making it a fitting way to mark this significant milestone. It also served as a nostalgic flashback to Junior College when such events were eagerly anticipated, allowing the students to relive those moments before stepping into professional workplaces. The benefits of a comfortable clothes day are well-supported by research and experiences.

This highly anticipated day brought both a sense fun and comfort for the Year 12 students, offering them a meaningful pause in their busy schedules to appreciate how far they have come and to look forward to the exciting future that lies ahead.

We wish our Year 12s all the very best as they complete their internal assessments and prepare for mock examinations, held across Week 8 and Week 9 of this term.

Commencement of Interviews for 2025 College Leadership Positions

We are excited to share that interviews have commenced for the 2025 College Captains, Action Captains, and House Captains. The student applicants have been exceptional, showcasing their understanding of student leadership at Pacific, and their passion for growing pastoral care, co-curricular activities, environmental initiatives, and creating a vibrant spirit at our sporting events.

As students complete their interviews, we encourage them to feel a sense of pride in their journey so far as Pacific students. This is a time for reflection on the incredible progress they have made, and an opportunity to look ahead to the many exciting opportunities that await them as student leaders of the College in 2025.

We have been inspired by the confidence with which they have shared their initiatives and vision for the future. Their commitment to continuing the legacy of leadership at Pacific, collaborating with next year’s Year 9 and Year 6 leaders, and supporting the development of peer mentoring within our pastoral care groups from Years 7-12, speaks volumes about the strength and calibre of leadership capacity amongst the current Year 11 cohort.

We wish all 2025 Year 11 students the very best with their leadership applications. We are proud of their efforts and look forward to the positive impact they will undoubtedly have on our College.
