The Year 6 Graduation Dinner and the end of year Prize Giving Ceremony for Wentworth Primary are both formal events involving speeches and formal winter uniform for students. Without doubt both events are amongst the highlights of the year for me. It represents a time for departing Year 6 students to reflect on their experiences at our wonderful school and it is a time for the school to recognise excellence and to farewell our leaving senior students.
The end of year Prize Giving Ceremony on 9 December is an excellent opportunity to formally celebrate the success of our students and school. I look forward to seeing a large number of parents, relatives and friends attending this event.

Year 6 Formal Graduation Dinner:
The Year 6 Graduation Dinner is on Thursday, 1 December at Sails Restaurant, Little Manly, with all Year 6 students confimed to attend. This is a formal event with full winter uniform to be worn please. Please be at the restaurant at 5:50pm prompt for a 6:00pm start. The cost per family is $85 and we would be most grateful if this could be paid by Wednesday morning to Mrs Borrett.
Christmas Carols and Shared Lunch:
We will be holding our annual Christmas Carols at 12:30pm on Thursday, 8 December at the Primary School. This will be a chance for us all to start to feel festive ready for Christmas. All parents, grandparents and siblings are most welcome to come along. We would ask that each student brings in a plate of food to contribute to the Shared Lunch following the Christmas Carols.
Wentworth Primary School Prize Giving Ceremony :
The Wentworth Primary School Prize Giving Ceremony takes place at 11:00am on Friday, 9 December in the College Hall. The end of the assembly marks the end of the school year. Please note that ALL students will need to wear their full winter uniform for this event. All children are dismissed from school at the conclusion of this event.
Library Books :
If you should locate any missing library books at home please bring them in to school as soon as possible and Mrs Borrett will ensure that the overdue library charges are removed from accounts as appropriate.
A reminder that as the College Tuck Shop is only open at morning tea for the remainder of this Term, there will be no more lunch service for the Primary. The service will recommence at the begining of next year.
