Year 6 Graduation - Friday 13/12/2024
You know what they say: practise makes perfect. Well, we proved that correct! We practised and practised, and we executed the perfect graduation ceremony on Friday the 13th of December in the main hall.
Families, teachers and special guests (including founding principal, Evan Savage) gathered together to celebrate the conclusion of our primary education. Everyone sat patiently while 87 Year 6 students graced the stage and graduated from Primary school.
Of those 87, there were 18 children who started their journey along with the school in 2018 and are still here with us today. Our School has changed and grown over the years as have we.
There were many awards handed out acknowledging a range of skills, successes and attributes.
