Dear families,

As the 2021 school year draws to a close, we’d like to thank all our families for their ongoing support this year. Despite the bumps along the way, we have finished the year successfully and are now enjoying the final celebrations that the end of the year brings.

As with any end of year, there are people who are part of our school community who move on for a variety of reasons and we’d like to thank these people for the contributions they have made to ETRS during their time with us. Unfortunately, we are saying goodbye to the following students:

Kaleb H
Casey P
Ben, Charlee and Leo M
Harrison & Zoe L
Tyler M
Summa and Phoenix Lewis H
Braydon, Jordan, Hudson and Archer S
Declan M
Charli F

Some of our staff will also be departing either taking leave, acquiring new positions or going on adventures. We’d like to say a huge thank you for the time, effort dedication and service these people have provided to our school during their time here. So it is farewell to:

Alannah
Bree
Caitlin
Angus
Clare
Zara
Rosey
Leila
Jody
Emily

We’d also like to congratulate several staff members who have completed their studies to become fully qualified in their field of choice. Congratulations Caitlin, Courtney and Angus.

Transition

Whole-School Transition Tuesday 7 December between 9 – 11 was a huge success. It was lovely to see the smiles on students and staff faces, as they made their way to the classrooms in 2022 groups. Our grade 6/7 transition sessions were successful by all accounts and we thank our secondary school teams for supporting our students so well. They are very much looking forward to stepping up to secondary school.

Graduation

2021 Grade 6 Graduation Ceremony

Welcome to Graduation 2021! What an amazing year it has been and so we are inviting you to attend our Grade 6 Graduation.

Students will be able to arrive at the Moama Bowling Club from 5.30pm.

Families will be able to have a family photo taken outside the Function Room and then students will enter the Function Room to go through a rehearsal followed by dinner with the teachers.

The cost of Graduation will be $20, which is payable at the school office by Friday 10th December.

Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, we are only allowed a maximum of 2 guests per student inside the Function Room.

Schedule:

5:30pm – Students arrive, and family photo is taken

6pm – Students and Teachers to have a meal together to celebrate their 7 years of Primary School

6:50pm – Doors will open for guests

7pm – Graduation Ceremony will begin

8pm – Graduation will come to a close.

We are looking forward to a fantastic end to what has been an unpredictable school year but we are excited that we can still hold a formal graduation ceremony for our students to end their primary school years.

Any questions or queries, please contact the school.

Thankyou

Narelle Lyons, Zara Pearson, Caitlin Green, Nat Harvey & Brett Mundie
