Last week we farewelled our Year 6 students. Firstly, with a Candle Ceremony where the Grade 6 students formally handed over the leadership to the future Grade 6 students of 2024. All Grade sixes were commended for the leadership shown and the strong bonds they had created with their Prep Buddies.
Then, following the Graduation Mass on Wednesday, celebrated by Fr Avinash, Mr Dortmans thanked the School Captains Charlea & Jai, for their leadership, making special note of the growth in their confidence throughout the year.
Congratulations to the following students who received Graduation Awards:
St John the Baptist Citizenship Award: Indie Meyer
Sportsmanship Awards: Bradley Thurling & Lucy Banks
St John the Baptist Awards: Indiana Maloney & Oscar Wilson
Men’s Shed Encouragement Award: Alex Elliott
St John the Baptist Academic Award: Xanthe Parker

The Colour Event and Guard of Honour last Friday created a fitting end to their time at St John’s and a way to thank them for the contributions they’ve made to our school community. We wish them all the best for secondary school.
