Farewell to the Burdekin Catholic High School Class of 2025

Burdekin Catholic High School this week proudly farewell our graduating Class of 2025, a cohort of young people who have led with heart, embraced challenge, and strengthened the spirit of our school community.

Throughout their time at BCHS, this group has been defined by their generosity, spirit, and willingness to step forward as leaders. Whether on the sporting field, in academic pursuits, through service activities, or in the arts, our Year 12 students have left an impression that will echo long after their departure. Their ability to support one another, to rise after setbacks, and to build community has been an inspiration to younger students and staff alike.

Principal Lorraine Wolffe shared her immense pride: “This graduating class has shown us what determination, kindness, and faith in one another can achieve. They leave not only with knowledge and skills, but with the strength of character to shape a future they can be proud of.”

As they now take their next steps, whether into further study, trades, employment, or new adventures, we send them forward with confidence and gratitude. Their achievements belong not only to themselves, but to the families, teachers, and community members who have supported them along the way.

The BCHS community thanks the Class of 2025 for the joy, leadership, and legacy they leave behind. We hold each of them in our prayers as they step into the next chapter, and we look forward to welcoming them back as graduates who continue to live out the Marist values of presence, simplicity, love of work, and family spirit.

Congratulations, Year 12. May the road ahead be filled with purpose, opportunity, and the knowledge that you will always have a home at Burdekin Catholic High School.
