Presentation Day At Jarvisfield State School

Jarvisfield State School's presentation day took place on Monday, December 4, incorporating the year 6 graduation, end of year awards and Christmas Concert.

Alfredo Vasta graduated from year 6 after starting prep at the school in 2017, the same year as the current school principal, Lisa Bello.

“Alfredo is a kind, caring and well liked student,” said Ms Bello.

“No matter where he goes, someone always has something nice to say about.

“Even though he will be the only year 6 child going into high school this year, he has many friends joining him at Ayr High.

“Small schools do a great job of ensuring strong friendships are fostered across schools prior to their transition into high school.”

Many awards were also presented to students for attendance, encouragement, sport, improvement and academic efforts.

In addition, the Super J award was awarded to Riley Trindle and Aaliyah Trembath for outstanding behaviour this year.

For the first time ever, the Shiradean George Cultural Award was presented to the most outstanding indigenous student across all areas of school.

Shiradean George was honoured to personally present this year's perpetual award to Kasey Trindle for outstanding academic performance, being a great sportsman, outstanding behaviour and good attendance.
