The Order of Events for 2020
This evening we joined the students in celebrating the end of their school year for 2020, along with recognising individual performance through class book awards.
Book awards were presented to students who have displayed the following qualities throughout the year;
- Positive attitude towards school
- Citizenship qualities in the classroom
- Commitment to learning
We also had two BeYou awards this year, which recognises a junior and senior primary student who has displayed kindness and empathy within the school community.
Mrs Lambert, our librarian, had spent a lot of her time making sure that teachers got their book awards in by the due date and also for creating the bookplates that go inside every book presented tonight.
Photos of all the award recipients taken tonight will have the image emailed to the family email address that is on our current newsletter database.
The Forest Crescent PS school band performed for us, but I don’t think we were anticipating the gusting winds which caused music sheets to go flying. The Year 5 & 6 guitar ensemble performed for us. This was followed by a thank you drum solo performance by Sofia P, our Forest Crescent band drummer since 2018, and grand-final winner of Forest Crescent’s Got Talent from 2018 & 2019.
From that point on, our presentation night was co-hosted by our Year 6 Head Boy, Omar, and Year 6 Head Girl, Ella.
The choir, led by Ms Britten performed our opening songs “All Swans Are White”, with soloist Molly H, and “All For Love”.
Forest Crescent Primary’s Head Boy Omar, and Head Girl, Ella presided over the evening program, and introduced the year level items;
- Pre-Primary classes performed their item, “I Am the Happiest Christmas Tree”.
- Year Ones from Rooms 6, 7, 8 and 9, performed their item “Christmas Time”, to the tune of “Shake It Off”, with words by Ms Britten.
- Year Two’s from Rooms 10, 11, 12 and 13 sang. “Nice List”.
