Sad Farewell to 50 Valedictorians
The Valedictory Dinner was held on Tuesday 15 October. The whole college with many invited guests joined to farewell 50 very special people who have made a most significant and positive difference during their three years at Cromwell College.
Guest Speaker was former Cromwellian Rosanna O’Neill (2012-2013). The prestigious Cromwell College Medal (the highest award bestowed by the College) was awarded to Callum Breetzke (Gold Coast) for his outstanding contribution to Cromwell College over his three years.
Ross Switzer (Principal) delivered a fitting farewell to the Valedictorians who responded with a song. Tears flowed during the Valedictory Video prepared by Valedictorian Oscar Crisp (Yass NSW) which captured three amazing years of Cromwell life for those departing. More photos and a full story will appear in our December issue of COCA News. #coca #cromwellcollegeuq_official #valedictorians2019
