The next generation of Napranum leaders are off to begin their high school journey after graduating from Kluthuthu Christian College (KCC) to a wave of community kudos.
Surrounded by parents, friends and community members, nine students celebrated their milestone achievement at the KCC graduation awards night late last month.
Principal Vernon Clark congratulated the students on their academic achievements and said the Napranum community was thrilled with their success.
“Students were celebrated with awards and trophies for their achievements in the company of traditional Elders, the mayor of Napranum, Roy Chevathen, distinguished guests and their proud parents and relatives,” he told Cape York Weekly.
“Traditional Owner and board member Jacqueline Malacoola opened the ceremony with a Welcome to Country.”
Mr Clark said regular attendance was one of the challenges many students had overcome during 2024, with a 25 per cent increase since last year.
“Their average school attendance increased from 40 per cent in 2023 to 65 per cent in 2024,” he said.
“Congratulations to all the year 6 graduates on your hard work, perseverance, excellent behaviour and attendance.”
