School's Out!: Class Of 2025 Steps Into Their Next Chapter

School’s out across the Mackay region, and for the Class of 2025, the final bell has never sounded louder. Year 12 students have wrapped up exams, celebrations and long-held traditions as they get ready to step boldly into their next chapter.

Last week, Whitsunday Anglican School farewelled its seniors with the annual Walk of Honour — a moment echoed in spirit across the region as students gathered to applaud their graduates.

Now, the Class of 2025 prepares to scatter into apprenticeships, university pathways, gap years and first jobs. Some will chase dreams close to home; others will venture far beyond the Pioneer Valley — but all carry the lessons, friendships and resilience shaped right here in regional Queensland.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025!

Last Friday, the Class of 2025 at Whitsunday Anglican School marked the end of their school journey with the annual “Walk of Honour.” Led by the Mackay and District Pipe Band, the Year 12 students walked through the School gates while younger students and staff looked on, applauding and celebrating their achievements. The tradition offered a memorable farewell for the graduates and a chance for the school community to acknowledge their hard work and dedication.
