COVID-19 update: June 2021
In compliance with NSW Government's stay-at-home orders for Greater Sydney, graduation ceremonies have been postponed.
It is understandably disappointing for our graduates and their families, but the safety of the community is our main priority. We remain hopeful the ceremonies can be rescheduled in the coming months when safe to do so.
Graduates who paid their July Graduation Attendance Fee and wish to request a refund have been contacted via student email with further details.
