We still do a yearbook – and we manage it in house. Admittedly it does take a lot of work and internal resources.
It’s quite a large and much loved publication. One copy is printed for each student, and after a few years of having too many left over we now ask staff to nominate if they would like a personal copy to keep. We also get a number for the school itself of course.

It’s a very creative endeavour here – managed by our graphic designer and marketing officer, with a committee of Year 11 students selected at the beginning of the year. Each year the students choose a theme – recent years have included Spotify ‘unwrapped’, Barbie (leaning on the female empowerment message!), iconic tv shows etc.

We make sure it’s finalised by the beginning of November, printed and available to students on the last day of school. Year 12 students are able to come back over the holidays, or in the new year to get their copies.

I can’t see a situation where we would stop doing this at our College. It’s such an iconic publication that there would be outcry if we tried to remove it! :-)

We also don’t make it available online. It’s seen as an internal document and therefore we don’t have photo permissions concerns (as mentioned above).
