Year 6 Celebration Class of 2024/2025 🎓

Today, our school community came together to honour and celebrate the incredible journey of our 73 Year 6 students as they prepare to embark on their next chapter.

The event began with a warm and thoughtful address by Mr Henri, who reflected on the many milestones and memories the students have made throughout the year. He emphasised the importance of upholding our AISB core values—Wellbeing, Respect, Integrity, Community, Personal Best, and a Global Outlook—which serve as guiding principles not only within the classroom but also in life beyond school. These values empower our students to become compassionate young leaders prepared for life’s challenges and opportunities.

Following this inspiring speech, our Year 6 Captain, Tommie, delivered a heartfelt address that captured the spirit, friendships, and growth experienced by the cohort.

One of the event’s highlights was a powerful performance of “Hall of Fame” by the Year 6 students, led by Mr Tom, our AISB Music Teacher. As they sang, a heartwarming montage of their baby photos played in the background, reminding us all how far these young learners have come.

The song’s message about believing in oneself, striving for greatness, and making a positive impact beautifully echoed the values we nurture at our school. Their energetic and emotional performance was truly unforgettable.

Certificates were then proudly awarded to students from Year 6 Curlews, Year 6 Currawongs, Year 6 Lorikeets, and Year 6 Wagtails, recognising their hard work and achievements.

To my students, thank you. Thank you for your energy, your curiosity, your honesty, and your humour. Your hard work has challenged me to be a better teacher. But more importantly,

just by being who you are, you’ve made me a better person.

As you move forward into the next part of your journey, remember this: your value doesn’t come from how many certificates you earn, how quickly you learn, or how many trophies you win. It comes from your kindness, your courage, and the way you treat others. Keep showing up as the best version of yourself. Be brave enough to try, strong enough to fail, and wise enough to learn from both.

The world is big, and your story is just beginning.

Go and write it with boldness, with kindness

and with passion - Mr Glen, Homeroom teacher

Year 6 Lorikeets

Homeroom teacher: Ms Nancy

Year 6 Wagtails

To my Year 6s: I want you to remember that learning doesn’t stop here. Secondary school will bring new subjects, new friends, and new opportunities. It might feel a bit scary at times, but trust me – you are ready. Be brave. Be kind. Ask questions. Try new things. And don’t be afraid to make mistakes – they’re just part of how we grow. Most of all, be proud of who you are. because I am, and I always will be. Thank you – and congratulations, Year 6! - Mr Riley, Homeroom teacher

Before closing the ceremony, Ms Hannah, Head of Primary, shared a few simple yet meaningful thoughts for students to carry with them as they move up to secondary school:

1. Always do your best. You don’t have to be perfect.

2. If at first you don’t succeed, try again. Mistakes are part of learning, and every challenge is an opportunity for growth.

3. Most importantly, be kind—to your classmates, your teachers, your families, and yourself. Kindness doesn't have to be big or loud. Sometimes it’s as simple as a smile, a helping hand, or listening when someone needs to talk.  The way you treat others can make a huge difference in their day—and in yours. And remember, being kind to yourself is just as important.

   
   

Ms Hannah, Head of Primary

As our Year 6 students move forward, we hope they carry with them not only knowledge but also compassion, courage, and the daily reminder to be kind—to themselves and to others.

Congratulations to all our Year 6 students—your journey is just beginning, and we can’t wait to see all that you accomplish!
