5/6L

A Note from Ms. Lisa...

As we come to the end of a genuinely wonderful year, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of our 5/6L families, carers, friends, and emotional support pets. Your support, encouragement, and partnership have meant so much. It truly takes a village to educate a child, and I am incredibly grateful for the trust you have placed in me throughout 2025.

To my incredible Grade 6 students heading off to high school - I wish you every success and happiness. You are ready for this next chapter (even if I'm still not quite ready to let you all go...hard pass!). I know you will take your strengths, your kindness, your resilience, and just the right amount of cheekiness and sass with you.  To my Grade 5s moving into your final year of primary school, I look forward to seeing you shine as leaders of SFX next year, badge or no badge.

I feel truly blessed to spend my work days laughing, teaching, and being constantly surprised by the amazing young humans that you trust to my care each day. It is not overstating things to say that I am humbled to be a small part of their lives, and it's always hard to let them go! Thank you once again for a wonderful year. It has been a true privilege and joy to teach your children. 

Warmest regards,

Ms. Lisa

Important Dates

If you thought the last few weeks have been busy, brace yourselves for the crazy end-of-year season!

Week 10

• Monday 8th December - Final assembly for the year at 2:15pm. Grade 6 leaders will be announced, and 2025 awards will be presented. Reports also go live today.
