Class of 2026 Graduation

On Wednesday 14 October and Thursday 15 October, we celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2026 and the end of an important chapter in their Padua College journey. 

Graduation is a milestone celebration of perseverance, growth and possibility, and also of the many people who have believed in these students every step of the way.

Padua College

As Principal Kelly McGurn reflected in her address, what many students remember most about their time at our College is not a particular achievement or event, but the people who walked alongside them. The friendships formed, the support of families, the encouragement of staff, and the countless everyday acts of kindness that helped shape them into the young adults they are today.

To the Class of 2026, we urge you to pursue your ambitions wholeheartedly, be curious and courageous, remain generous in using your gifts in the service of others, choose compassion over indifference, and never forget the difference you can make by lifting up others. We are immensely proud of all you have achieved and look forward to seeing the next chapter of your story unfold.

Congratulations to our Class of 2026.
