Year 6 Graduation

Graduation from Primary School is a significant milestone in a child’s life. It is a time filled with mixed emotions:

• Sadness as they part ways with many of their close, long term childhood friends
• A sense of pride in a school that nurtured and protected them through their early years
• Nostalgia as they look back over the countless happy, sad, proud and embarrassing memories of their journey through Gray Primary
• Excitement and nervousness as they anticipate the new opportunities, challenges and adventures that change brings

As their time at Gray Primary comes to a close, it is fitting that the achievements of the Year 6 students are proudly acknowledged at an official celebration in the form of a Graduation Presentation Ceremony and Celebration Dinner.

This event is funded by money raised by the students throughout the year.

As a child’s education is the culmination of the efforts of the students, parents, teachers and the wider community invitations are extended to Local Members of Parliament, the Principal, Assistant Principal, teachers, parents/carers and students.
