Dear St John the Apostle families,

On Tuesday evening we celebrated the graduation of our Year 6 students. We were so pleased to gather together as a whole year level of families, outside under the trees.

I would just like to again express my thanks and farewell to the families who are leaving our community this year. Thank you for the privilege of working alongside you to support your child's education. Thank you for being a part of the St John the Apostle story. We are a better school for having had you be part of it.

While we were proud of all of our Year 6 students we were also pleased to present the Year 6 awards to the following students.

• Discipleship Award: Jessica Madsen and Evelina Tuipeatau
• Leadership Award: Hudson Henshaw and Apajok Garang
• Outstanding Effort Award: Archie Beveridge and Ronan Hamilton
• Academic Acheivement Award: James Jeffs and Apajok Garang
• Citizenship Award: Hudson Henshaw
• Rotary Citizenship Award: Jasmine Kelly

I would like to wish all of our Year 6 students the very best for their future. May God continue to bless them and may they continue to know God's love for them, as they are, throughout their lives.

Student Leaders 2022

Earlier this week we announced to the students the School Captains for 2022. Congratulations to:

• Nicolai Librando
• Emily Anderson

Nicolai and Emily were voted by their peers as school captains and we know they will do a wonderful job!

Congratulations to all of our Peer Leaders for 2022, also voted by their peers. They are Emilio, Yusha, Lucas, Vuyo, Anna, Isabella T, Mia, Elizabeth, Zara, Otis, Daven, Seth, Lily, Hayley, Bhoomika and Amy.

Every student in Year 5 prepared and delivered a speech. Every one of them will be a student leader in 2022. The above students simply have some extra responsibilities.

We look forward to supporting all of our Year 6 students in growing and maturing in preparation for high school.

Christmas Video

Below is the link to our Christmas video filled with singing and dancing from every class. Thank you to Mrs French, Performing Arts Teacher, who organised each of the class performances. Thank you also to Mrs Hudson who helped Mrs French, Mr Biilmann who filmed students and Mrs Collins and Mrs Watson for organising the Kindergarten nativity. The video will stay up to view during the Christmas and New Year break and then be taken down again (It's a big file so make sure you're connected to wifi to watch it).

Thank you everyone for a fantastic year. Thank you all for working together so much as a community and for supporting your child's schooling through some challenging times.
