Celebrating Semester One: Acting Principal Stasakova's mid-year update

As winter settled over Canberra, the College entered the quiet focus that exam season brings. Semester 1 has been full and vibrant, and as it drew to a close, I found myself reflecting on the many highlights of the year so far. The Burgmann Band’s Big Night Out was a standout event, showcasing the remarkable talent within our community, as was the memorable Law Dinner with special guest and alumnus, the Honourable Justice Beech-Jones.

At this time of year, many residents make the most of the teaching break and head off in search of warmer weather. Whether embarking on a ‘Euro summer’ adventure or returning home to recharge and reconnect with loved ones, I wish them safe travels and a well-earned rest.
