Christmas cheer arrived early at Chisholm on Monday evening as we gathered to celebrate our incredible volunteers. Against the backdrop of our beautiful grounds at sunset, guests enjoyed champagne and canapés, sharing laughter and conversation beneath the trees.

The staffroom was transformed into a sparkling festive wonderland, setting the scene for a delicious three-course meal and our much-loved traditions of gift-giving and the ever-popular lolly buffet.

It was a unique opportunity to also express gratitude to three exceptional staff who were present and are retiring this year. Whilst their formal farewells will be later, we thanked Rosemairy Ovenden (Uniform Shop Manager, 40 years), Graham Adam (Business Manager, 16 years) and John Bormolini (Principal, 12 years) for their tireless service to our College.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the volunteers from the Uniform Shop, Parent Engagement Group, Alumni, Friends of Performing Arts and the Canteen. Your dedication makes everything we offer to the Chisholm community possible. A special thank you also to the staff who worked tirelessly to create such a memorable evening during this busy time of year.
