We are proud to share the outstanding academic achievements of the Class of 2024 and acknowledge their unwavering commitment and determination in all aspects of school life.
These young women have demonstrated incredible resilience during their senior years, wholeheartedly embracing every facet of their Somerville House education with enthusiasm and school spirit. They have supported and inspired one another, celebrated both individual and collective achievements, and led the School with pride.
Our Principal, Dr Sandra Hastie, recognised the outstanding attituded and achievements of the 2024 cohort of remarkable young women.
I congratulate the Class of 2024 on the outstanding success you have all achieved in both academic and co-curricular pursuits. As a school community we are incredibly proud of your dedication, resilience, and the way you have embraced our motto of "Honour Before Honours”. I also extend my deepest gratitude to the parents and teachers who have walked this journey with you, offering their unwavering support and encouragement. Your success is a testament to this shared partnership and the champions that each of you have had walking alongside you in your education journey.
As you step into the future, remember the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” Go with confidence, courage, and the knowledge that you carry within you the strength to achieve greatness. I look forward to witnessing your continued success.
We know that academic results are not the only determining factor of a good school, given that student wellbeing, the co-curricular offering through sport, music and cultural activities contribute to the resilient young people who experience success in their academic endeavours.
