PRE-PRIMARY GRADUATION
Today, the Pre-Primary class graduated.
We had a wonderful morning which
included a beautiful presentation by the
students, and the parents enjoyed sharing
morning tea.
We would like to thank the Teachers and
Education Assistants who organised this
event and prepared the children so well.
We look forward to seeing the students as
Year 1s next year.
This year we say farewell to Mrs Noleen Palmer who is retiring after 11 years of service to the School. We thank her for bringing so much Godly wisdom and giving so much to the School over the years. We have been blessed by you being here!
Also, we say goodbye to Mrs Emma Kiely who is moving to the country and thank her for her contributions to the School community.
We wish both ladies God’s richest blessings as they move into new chapters in their lives.

Families and staff as we celebrate Christ ‘s birth
Praise Points: Wonderful finish to the year

TEAM MEMBER PROFILE
Allan Munsami—Industrial Arts Teacher
I am married with three adult children and three grandchildren. We emigrated to New Zealand from South Africa in 2008 and then moved to Perth in 2014.
My main passions are art, music, guitar construction, philosophy, religion, travelling, bird photography, inventing and song writing.
I was a part of the technology team at Birkdale Intermediate School in Auckland responsible for promoting skilful thinking in the classroom and developing the “Habits of Mind” visual metaphors in a Design and Technology workbook. In 2005 I was awarded a scholarship to Japan to look at animation, transport systems, food and biotechnology.
As a practising artist I participated in several group exhibitions in New Zealand and South Africa including a South African travelling exhibition to Germany. I am currently working towards an art exhibition next year in Perth.
