Dear Parents, Students and Staff 

Happy Christmas 

As this is our final newsletter for the year, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our parents for your continued support of your sons and daughters and of St Clare’s throughout 2024 and to wish all students and families all of God’s blessings for a safe, happy and holy Christmas. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to pass on my personal thanks to our parent community for all the support you have given me during this past year.  I will take with me many cherished memories of a community that continues to thrive and grow.  I feel proud of the achievements of our school over the past 12 months and feel very confident that many great accomplishments are in store for the future.  While my time at St Clare’s has only been brief, I will always hold a special place in my heart for this school community and the wonderful individuals that make up this vibrant and successful school.  I look forward to the new challenges ahead as I take on the role of Principal of All Saints’ College Maitland in 2025.  My prayers remain with you all for much success in the future. 

Award Ceremonies 

We finished our school year this week with a range of Award Ceremonies to acknowledge the amazing achievements of students in Years 7, 8, 9 and 11.  We also received the HSC and ATAR results of our Year 12 cohort for 2024 on Wednesday of this week.  From all these ceremonies it is clear to see that we have a lot to celebrate as a school community and much to be proud of individually and collectively.  Of special note are the 17 Band 6 results (scores of 90 or above for an individual subject), 2 E4 scores for extension subjects and 74 Band 5 scores (between 80 and 89) that were achieved by our graduating students.  These results place St Clare’s as the top performing school in our region and the top performing school in the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese.  We are obviously very proud of all our students and their many achievements. 

Staff Changes for 2025 

We have a number of staff changes occurring for 2025 with some staff retiring and others moving to new positions next year.  We farewell the following staff:

• Barbara Singh – Finance and Administration Officer, who has been a part of our community for 26 years.
• David Clarke – HISE Teacher, who has dedicated an incredible 39 years of service to St Clare’s. 

Thank you to all of these staff for the wonderful commitment, dedication and professionalism they have each bought to their roles here at St Clare’s. 

I wish all our departing staff every success for whatever their futures have in store for them and send with them our prayers and appreciation.

Principal’s Comment: 

It's wonderful to see the outstanding achievements of the St Clare’s HSC class of 2024! 

Congratulations to the students for their hard work, dedication, resilience and commitment they have shown in completing their Higher School Certificate.  Their willingness to take on any challenge with determination has been truly commendable. 

A special thank you to the dedicated staff at St Clare's for their creativity and sustained efforts in navigating the ever-changing educational landscape.  Your commitment to providing an excellent learning environment is evident in the success of the students. 

Acknowledgment and congratulations must also go to the parents and caregivers, their enthusiasm and heart felt support has undoubtedly played a crucial role in the success of the young individuals and the school as a whole. 

St Clare's has a proud tradition of achievement in the HSC, and it's clear that this legacy continues.  The excitement for the students as they embark on the next phase of their lives is palpable.  Best wishes to the graduates as they take on new challenges and opportunities.  May you continue to excel and make a positive impact in your future endeavours.  Remember ‘always be the best you can be’ and ‘never see a need without doing something about it’.

Of the 60 students in the Class of 2024, many students received early offers to university, which they have already accepted, while other students have achieved results which will allow them to take up offers made by universities in the coming weeks.
