Parents, families, grandparents and friends are all welcome to attend.
Parents Graduation Supper
Wednesday 19 December
7:30pm – 10:30pm
Bennetts on Bellarine, 217 Portarlington Rd, Bellarine
Some Year 6 parents have organised an informal get together following the Graduation Ceremony at Bennetts on Bellarine, a local winery. The idea is that families can come together to celebrate the end of Year 6. The winery has plenty of room to students, siblings, parents and extended family, as well as a menu of wood fired pizzas available (at your own cost). Invitations were sent home with the Year 6s, please RSVP as per the details. There are spare copies in Year 6 and at the office.
Graduation Celebration
Thursday 20 December
Drysdale Primary School Oval
All Day
Dress: School Uniform with swimmers to change in to
Thursday is a day for the Year 6 students to celebrate together with a day out planned on the oval. There will be games set up for them to play along with music and a chill out zone. The Junior School Council have organised a giant inflatable water slide for the students to enjoy between recess and lunchtime. As a result, students will need to bring swimwear that is sun smart (i.e rash vest and boardshorts). They will change into their swimwear just after recess and then get changed back into their uniforms before lunch. There is a small cost involved and incursion notes have come home with the students.
