Year 6
Spotlight on Learning

Bethlehem Community

Dear Families & Friends,

The final week of school has been jam packed. We wish all our graduates every success at their secondary school. All reports from transition days have been very positive. While there are nerves, the students were very happy to make new friends.

Last Friday the students held their fundraiser, wearing blue and taking part in activities to raise money for Myanmar.

Tuesday was a fantastic attendance to the Christmas carols. We practiced at lunch time and after Mass Practice to make sure we were sharing our voices for the people at the back to hear. It was wonderful to see so many of our students and their families there.

Congratulations to our winners of the Christmas Card Design competition - Sana, Simon, Zayna, Meryl and Ashley. Each district award winner received their award recently, here are a photo of a couple of our winners, Sana & Zayna.

The Leadership Mass went very well on Wednesday, as the Year 6 students passed on the leadership baton to this years Year 5s. The students were blessed by Father Dennis in preparation for their secondary school journey. It was lovely to see so many families there to support us.

After much preparation, it was finally time for our students to graduate. We wish all our students an amazing journey through secondary school and know they are well prepared after their time at St Thomas the Apostle. It has been our great pleasure to be their teachers in 2025.
