Celebrating Our Graduating Boarders
This year, our graduating boarders have demonstrated outstanding dedication and perseverance in their studies across both ATAR and ACCESS pathways. Through late-night study sessions and the extra support provided by our Academic Care Team, they have shown what can be achieved with determination and commitment.
We recognise that the decision to board is a significant one, made possible by the support and sacrifice of families who believe in the value of a Santa Maria education. The achievements of our 2025 graduating boarders are a testament to their hard work, resilience, and the strong community that surrounds them.

Boarders claimed an impressive 26% of total awards, despite representing just 14% of the cohort, an extraordinary achievement!
We also acknowledge Emily Mulcahy and Bella Goss for their earlier TAFE achievements, which were featured in a previous Boarding Blog.
Congratulations to our Class of 2025 boarders. You have made us all so proud!
