Foundation Day 2017

Resource Centre Opens

At this year's Foundation Day Ceremony the Resource Centre was officially opened, an exciting day for everyone who had been eagerly waiting to see this state of the art building 

 

We were privileged to have The Honourable Member for Farrer Ms Sussan Ley officially open our Resource Centre.  Ms Ley encouraged students to make the most of the opportunities available to them in an educational setting such as Moama Anglican Grammar before unveiling the plaque. She implored students to "Do what you love, and love what you do". For her this was a fascination with combustion engines and flying. She also reinforced how valuable positive teachers are to student outcomes.

 

Another highlight of the Foundation Day service was the presentation of an award to Fran Galvin OAM for Distinguished Board Service.  Fran was an integral member of the Moama Anglican Grammar original steering committee and a Foundation Board Member.  Fran's service to our fledgling school was extremely "hands on", performing a multitude of tasks which enabled the school to flourish.  We are grateful for her determination, persistence and consistent demonstration of our Core Values.    

Foundation Day Cup

Our students continued to celebrate Foundation Day by contesting the "Cup".  It was really special to see Kindergarten through to Year 12 students taking part in a number of activities including:

  • Tunnel Ball
  • Primary Sack Race
  • Bean Bag Toss

  • Footy Kick
