Emerson School Investiture 2026
The Investiture of our Student Leaders took place yesterday in our Middle School Gymnasium. Our Guest of Honour was Mr Stanley Hill who has lived at the rear of our Middle School since 1960. He was on the very first School Committee at Greenslopes Primary School in 1962 which became our Middle Campus 50 years later in 2012. Stanley is 95 years old.
Congratulations to our present and past students and their staff mentors who provided some outstanding musical performances. It was a very emotional experience for our visitors, students and staff.
Congratulations to Dianne Wright and her colleagues for coordinating such a wonderful occasion, including a remarkable morning tea.
End of Term One
Parents/Guardians are reminded that Term One concludes next Thursday, 2nd April at 1.45 pm for the Middle Campus students and 2.00 pm for the Junior/Senior Campus students. Parents can expect buses an hour early on that day.
