Isabelle showed great resolve throughout the year to also receive the Year 6 Academic Achivement award, and was also among a number of students to receive a Certificate of Excellence.
The end of year presentations were held in the school’s Bradley Hall in December.
It will be followed by the school’s first ever Year 6 Family Celebration, which included a slideshow presentation, shared barbecue dinner and cutting of a graduation cake.
There was also a rousing game of basketball, where Year 6 students took on the teachers.
Before school finished up for the year, Edward also elected its leaders for the 2025 school year.
The school’s captains are Imogen White and Carter Sartore and vice captains are Bella Leetham and Jaxson Duggan.
