Well done to all students for successfully completing their Orientation Day last Friday. The Preparatory School was abuzz with energy and anticipation for the year that lies ahead. We welcomed 81 new students into the Preparatory School and provided all boys with an opportunity to meet their teacher and classmates for the 2025 Academic Year. Our Year 6 students enjoyed getting to know which House they will be in and familiarising themselves with life in the Senior School for next year.

Whilst we are drawing close to the end of the school year, our teachers are gearing up for some significant events in the Preparatory School. Tomorrow is the Final Assembly and Prize Giving where we recognise the achievements of students from Years 3 to 6. These awards will highlight different academic achievements of our students and will also acknowledge boys who have contributed to the positive culture of our school.

Next Friday, we will bid farewell to our Year 6 students as they transition to the Senior School across the oval. They will be warmly welcomed by Mr Mark Morrissy, Head of Senior School. Following the boys’ farewell through a guard of honour, families are invited to enjoy a morning tea in celebration of this special milestone.

Monday 2 December will see our boys take part in Activity Day and our House Christmas Lunches. This day is a celebration of the school year and a chance for students to have fun with their friends and teachers. Teachers plan different activities throughout the day and the boys get a chance to cool off in the pool. Activity Day is always one of the highlights of the year.

Finally, we end the school year on Tuesday 3 December with our Christmas Nativity Service, presented by our youngest students. The boys never fail to impress us with their bravery to get up on stage and sing Christmas Carols in front of the entire school. We look forward to seeing many families at the Service to end what has been a successful 2024 in the Preparatory School.

Head of Preparatory School
