Success Night (End Term 4)

Success Night is one of the highlights of the Mulwaree High School calendar. It is our opportunity to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our students across academic, sporting, cultural and community pursuits. Families, staff, and community members come together to recognise the hard work, growth, and dedication of our students.

On the night, we present awards that highlight:

• Achievement across all year levels
• Excellence in sport, the creative and performing arts and vocational education
• Leadership, citizenship and contributions to the school community
• Personal growth, effort and commitment to learning

Success Night not only acknowledges individual and group achievements but also reflects the supportive, high-expectation culture of our school. It is a proud moment for students and their families, and an inspiring reminder of what can be accomplished through perseverance, kindness, and community support
