The week we enjoyed a lovely celebration of all that Quinn and his classmates have accomplished at school over the last three years. On Wednesday, the P1 class of 2012 "graduated". Being the son of the principal certainly has its perks as Quinny got to be the first person to get his certificate and had personal stories shared in the opening speech (by Jim) about how be began three years ago clutching our legs every morning and having to be coaxed into class, how he has become a confident reader, and how now his posse of boys plus Nia take over the main office every morning before eagerly marching off to their classroom.
He was so lucky to have such thoughtful and caring teachers in Mrs. Feven and Mrs. Hammer over the past three years, not to mention a beloved PE teacher, Mrs. Troake, and fantastic after school teachers, Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Brewster. Of course, his experience was made wonderful mainly by his great great group of friends (Finn, Neil, Cameron, Ayden, Nia, Saraya, Naomi, Bella).
Somersfield's 3-6 programme was a memorable beginning to his school career.
