FAREWELL CLASS OF 2026 // Some farewells are filled with celebration, others with a few tears, but the very best are filled with both. That was one of those days recently when our Class of 2026 gathered for their Year 12 Graduation, marking the end of their time at William Clarke College in a way that felt very fitting for this unforgettable cohort.
The morning kicked off with a delicious breakfast, plenty of conversation and much laughter before the Graduation Assembly brought the College community together to commend the achievements of our Year 12s. Academic success, leadership and service were celebrated across our Year 12 cohort, with the announcement of Joshua N as our 2026 College Dux giving us another wonderful moment to applaud. The day continued with the long-standing tradition of the energetic Year 12 Concert, before Final Chapel offered a quieter space for worship and reflection.
But it was the moving Guard of Honour to close off the celebrations where the emotion was impossible to hide. As staff and students lined the College pathways, cheering, clapping and farewelling each of our Year 12s, there was no mistaking the significance of the moment as they walked the campus for one final time.
To the Class of 2026 – we wish you every success as you embark on this wonderful new chapter. We pray that as you step beyond the College gates, you will go forward with courage, trust in God’s faithfulness and carry the very best of your years at William Clarke College with you.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:9
