Woy Woy students prepare for high school

Year 6 students from Woy Woy Public School visited the Umina Campus as part of their transition to high school program on Thursday, November 19.

The students were able to explore the layout of the campus, see some classrooms and meet some of the teachers.

The previous week the students met the principals of Brisbane Water Secondary College when they came to Woy Woy Public School to meet the students.

"There is such a short time left here now at Woy Woy Public School for them," said principal Ms Ona Buckley. "Just four more weeks."

She said: "When they walk past you in the school grounds, you note how much they have grown up, grown taller and more confident and, yes, you know they are ready for high school.

"But it is sad to see them go, as you remember all the years they have been here.

"Some of our Year 6 students started with us in Preschool.

"There is a lot of excitement coming up for them with end of year activities and we have certainly enjoyed their company over these last few weeks."

Ms Buckley said the Year 6 Farewell would go ahead at the Everglades Country Club on Wednesday evening between 6 and 8:30pm and December 9.

"The club has a strict Covid plan in place for our event.

"Our Year 6 students will experience everything that all previous Year 6 students have had with the exception of parents and carers attending for the final graduation handouts.

"At present, Year 6 teachers are busy making special placemats for the occasion and putting plans into place for the Farewell evening."
