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 a thanks-giving ceremony in the gunyah, 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 and a native seedling, as the children's Kindergarten teachers, Kat and Kara, delivered them into the care of Class 1 teachers Rin and Lisa, to begin their journey together through the Primary School years.
