Dear Parents, Staff and Children,

Grade 6 Graduation

Last Thursday, we celebrated our Grade 6 students’ first 7 years of schooling at their

Graduation Ceremony. As always, the students hosted a wonderful evening, sharing

their educational journey and memories with family and friends. Congratulations to all

our Year 6 students. We wish them well as they embark on the next phase of their

education and look forward to hearing about their many successes and achievements

along the way. Sincerest thanks to the Year 6 teachers who have spent many hours

preparing for the event so that the students could have a memorable occasion to

round off their primary years of schooling.

Mr Field’s Retirement

After over 40 years of teaching, Mr Tim Field will be officially retiring on the 30th

January 2017. Tim’s long career has seen him work with many children across schools

in the western and northern suburbs. Much of his career has been here at Sunbury

West where he has spent the past 17 years. Tim has worked as both a classroom and

specialist teacher, sharing his skills and talents across the curriculum. Tim has fond

memories of his life teaching and of the children he has taught, particularly at our

school where he has had the opportunity to see many former students grow up and

become citizens in our community. Tim leaves us with memories of his experience,

humour and love of working with children. We wish Tim all the very best as he

embarks on his new career called ‘Retirement’.

Carols On The Green

Thankyou to the small but enthusiastic group of students who represented our school

at Carols on the Green on Saturday night. They have spent many weeks rehearsing

during lunchtimes and were very excited at the prospect of participating in this

community event. Mrs Campbell joined them on the evening and was very proud of

their performance.

Please see inside for my final note…...

The Grade 5/6 teachers would like to thank all of the grade 6 students for the hard work they put in to mak-

ing this year’s Graduation ceremony such a memorable one.

This year has been a very busy, but an extremely rewarding one for all involved. The students have displayed great leadership

and have been wonderful role models for the younger students. They have helped to make Sunbury West the great school

that it is.

We are very proud of their achievements. We wish them well in all of their future endeavours and especially next year as they

begin their secondary education. They are all ready for the next part of their educational journey.
