Welcome to Term 4. I hope that all students had a restful term break and have enjoyed their first week of the final school term for 2022.

While the Year 7-11 students were enjoying the school holidays, our Year 12 ATAR students commenced their Semester 2 College Examinations. The results of these examinations contribute towards a significant part of their final ATAR score and are the culmination of many years of study. I hope these exams went well and wish all our students the best of luck with their SCSA examinations later this term.

This week we announced our 2023 Student Leadership Team (SLT). After a competitive and thorough process, I was delighted to inform the successful applicants of their selection. I look forward to working with our 2023 Student Leaders next year. A full list of these leaders is included in this bulletin.

The College is currently putting the finishing touches to plans for our Class of 2022 Graduation events, which will take place next Friday, 21 October. The day will commence with a Graduation Mass and assembly, followed by rehearsals throughout the day and culminating with the formal Graduation Ceremony in the evening. I look forward to joining with college staff and students to celebrate these important events with our Year 12s and their families.

Next week, our Annual Music Concert takes place on Tuesday evening. Members of the College Community are invited to join us for a night of music performances by the various Lumen Christi College music ensembles including the College Choir, Percussion Ensemble, Concert Band, Rock Bands, Soul Band and our Year 11 and 12 Certificate Bands. Tickets are free, however bookings are essential. Tickets can be booked here.

I hope that all students have an enjoyable Term 4.

God Bless.

Lumen Christi College is committed to the development of Music Excellence. To support this aim, the College is offering all students enrolled at the College from 2023 the opportunity to apply for a full or part Music Scholarship.

In 2023, several full and part time Scholarships will be offered to students in Years 7-12. These Scholarships will initially run for a year and may be extended pending a successful review at the end of the year.

Music Scholarships provide:
• The full Music Scholarship covers the cost of 32 x 30-minute individual instrumental lessons. The part Music Scholarship covers 50% of the cost of 32 x 30-minute individual instrumental lessons. Both scholarships include free instrument hire. All Music Scholarship recipients will be required to participate in the classroom music program and participate in one College ensemble.
• The College may offer successful candidates a scholarship on an instrument which is different to the instrument they are currently learning, based on the needs of the Music Program.
