The faces of our Primary School's newest arrivals said it all last week as they "crossed the bridge" to big school, filled with a mix of excitement, nerves, pride and anticipation.
After an acknowledgement of this beautiful country on which our School stands, with deepest appreciation to Belle and Indira, the two classes travelled across the bridge in a Star Canoe, symbolising the threshold between Early Childhood and the formal learning environment of Primary School. Each Class 1 child was met by a student from our graduating class, bearing the gift of a flower, as the children's Kindergarten teachers, Kat and Kara, delivered them into the care of Class 1 teachers Kate and Penny, to begin their journey together through the Primary School years.
