Year Six Leadership Ceremony

Yesterday our Year Six students participated in an induction ceremony to receive their Leadership shirts and badges. It was lovely to be able to invite a representative of each family member to the ceremony. In order to accommodate these  representatives some visitors we were required to sit in our Courtyard keeping close company with our chickens. We live in strange times, if nothing else it will make for an amusing memory in the years to come.

Congratulations to all Year Six children. We feel feel very confident that you will make excellent leaders.
