One of the many highlights of my role as Principal is hearing the aspirations of students in Year 12 with their families at enrolment interviews, and then several years later after they have left Cromwell, attending their graduation ceremonies to see the culmination of their hard work as they receive their degrees. December is a busy month with many ceremonies across different faculties held. I have been aware of Laura Brown, Carla Newlands, Marcus Van Vuuren, Adriana Di Bella, Mikaela Oakley, Tiana Sheehy, Abigail Ward and Brodie Johnson all graduating this month. Congratulations to them and to all other Cromwell students who have achieved this great milestone in their lives.
