final year of primary school


Each final year student is encouraged to be an active leader in the school. He/she is expected to uphold and maintain the school’s fine reputation by wearing correct school uniform, behaving appropriately, contributing to school life and setting an example of service and co-operation for others. 

School Leadership
Year 6 students learn about leadership and service and are given the opportunity to take on leadership roles throughout the year. The students are engaged in a program of self-appraisal and the recognition and acceptance of another’s talents/abilities.   
           
Year 6 students become involved in areas of leadership including: Environment; Care and Concern; Liturgy; Sport; Public Relations and Library. 
By extending the role of leadership among many children, it is anticipated that more students will have the opportunity to display leadership qualities and initiative.

Year 6 Graduation and Farewell
At the end of the school year, the students who are completing their final year of Primary education participate in a ceremony of thanksgiving, acknowledgement and farewell.  Each student is presented with a Graduation Certificate.
