The last fortnight’s events have been a tremendous culmination of what has been an extremely successful year. We are blessed to be ending the year with family and friends in attendance at celebrations and performances.
On Monday we honoured an educational milestone at our Year 6 Graduation Ceremony held in Memorial Hall. It was an privilege to present the boys with their graduation certificates and see Headmaster, Mr Tim Browning, present Senior School House caps as a symbol of welcome. Congratulations to the students as they transition into their next phase of schooling!
Wednesday afternoon saw us celebrate effort, academic achievement, effort, good citizenship, House Cups, sporting, public speaking and prowess in the arts at the Year 3 to 6 Speech Day.
Yesterday, year levels celebrated the culmination of the School year with festive crafts, a visit from SAPOL officers, quad bicycles on the avenue, as well as games and sharing of food, swimming, finishing off with our rock bands performing in the Junior School Hall.
And today, this final day of the academic year, we came together as a community to enjoy the Junior Primary Pageant, the Prep Christmas Concert and Junior School Advent Service.
I am grateful for the staff who have given the students such wonderful learning and life experiences this year.
