Hello and welcome to the St. Raphaela's website!
Our names are Isabel, Grace and Isabelle and we are proud to be the Head Girls of St. Raphaela's Secondary School this year.
As the Head Girls, our goal is to create a happy and welcoming atmosphere within our school community. Alongside our wonderful team of prefects, we strive to help our fellow students to achieve their goals and enjoy their time here at St. Raphaela's. We especially look out for any new students in our school and help them adapt to life here.
Aside from the academic aspects of our school, our teachers and coaches generously dedicate their time to a wide variety of clubs and societies - from Hockey and Basketball, to Choir and Science Club - there really is something on offer for everyone. Through our extracurricular activities, we have met lots of new people and made some of our best friends. All three of us have been lucky enough to play for our school sports teams and wear the St. Raphaela's jersey. It gives us a great feeling of pride representing the school and supporting others as they do the same.
Over our past few years, we have had the privilege of taking part in many different experiences that have given us some of our best memories. One of our personal favourite memories was our recent Science trip to London. Not only did we learn so much by visiting different museums, but we also got to see many famous landmarks and even watch a Westend musical! It was a great chance to bond with our year and take a break from daily school life.
Looking back at our time in the school, we are honoured to call ourselves 'Raphaela Girls'.
This school has given us the opportunity to achieve not only our academic potential, but also a number of personal and social goals.
We hope that everyone who enters through our doors enjoys their time in St. Raphaela's as much as we have!
Thank you,
Isabel Kelly, Grace Payne & Isabelle Hawthorn Byrne
