Alesco Senior College, Cooks Hill students celebrate end of 2021

It’s been a strange year with the Covid pandemic but Year 12 students at ALESCO Senior College at Cooks Hill were excited to celebrate the end of 2021. SEE the photos.

End of year celebrations have well and truly kicked off across the Hunter as students reminisce of the year that was, albeit a strange one.

No doubt, Covid threw most for a curve ball, with students going online and having to home school through some of the year before finally coming back, as HSC exams started to kick off for year 12s.

And thankfully with vaccination rates up across NSW, students this year have been able to have their night-of-night, attend formals and enjoy end-of-year celebrations, even if it looked a little different.

On Wednesday, a small group of excited year 12 students and staff from ALESCO Senior College at Cooks Hill gathered to commemorate the year in a more casual affair.
