Year 6 Graduation … Be Proud!
Graduation Disco
Graduation is fast approaching for our Year Sixes as they prepare for their journey on to secondary school. The Year 6 group have their own Graduation Disco on Monday 22nd July from 6 to 8pm. The Year 6’s will enjoy some nibbles, if you would like to donate some food/snacks/treats, we would be most grateful for any donations you are able to give. If you wish to contribute, please could you send these in to school with your child on the morning of the disco. All donations are gratefully received. Please can we remind you that mobile phones will also not be allowed. Also, a reminder that all children must be collected at the end of the disco at 8pm by an adult. We do hope they enjoy their celebrations 😊
Graduation Ceremony
The Graduation Ceremony will take place on Tuesday 23rd July at 2pm for all Year 6 children. This will take place at the front of school and once the ceremony has finished all Year 6 Graduates will then leave for their journey into Year 7 and beyond, they will leave with you from the ceremony. This event will take place outdoors. Just a reminder that all children need to be in their school uniform for the graduation. Please can we ask parents that you only take photos of your own child, and can we politely request that you do not film the ceremony, this is due to strict GDPR restrictions which keep all our children safe. There will be an opportunity during the graduation for you to take pictures of your child. Also please be mindful of your social media presence and our responsibilities as role models to our children.
Happy Graduation all and thank you to you as Year 6 Parents and Carers for all your support and encouragement over your time with us, we know this will be an exciting but emotional day for us all. Be Proud and Be Happy!
