It is hard to believe that this is the last newsletter for the year.  I, along with all the staff, would like to thank everyone for their support over the year and hope everyone has a relaxing break over the holidays. We also wish the graduating year 6 students all the best as they finish at Enoggera State School.  It has been lovely to watch these students grow this year and see the contributions they have made to the school as leaders. Good luck to all our year 6 students and all the best to other Enoggera families who are leaving us this year.

We also have some staff who are moving on. Good luck to Mrs Thomas, Miss Luckman, Miss Green and Mr Everett – we wish you all the best for your future ventures. On parade this week, we celebrated one staff member’s 30 years at Enoggera. Ms McKenzie has seen many changes over this time and supported a multitude of students. Her vast knowledge of Enoggera State School history is invaluable.

Our classes for 2020 have been finalised, with teachers taking into account many factors in forming class groups, including balancing the academic, social and behavioural needs. Students will be able to meet their teachers for next year this Friday, when parents will also be notified of classes by email.

Every year, we are supported by many volunteers from our community, who assist our students with activities such as reading, swimming, Wakakirri, working in our library and are also involved in mentoring individual students. Thank you so much to each and every one of you. Your support enriches the offerings to our students and it was lovely to see many of you at our volunteers’ morning tea.

Our swimming carnivals were a great success this year. Well done to everyone who participated and to the staff and, of course, Mrs Jardine for her organisation of the events. Congratulations to the age champions. Some of our classes have also had fun visiting the Planetarium and Nudgee Beach.

Have a safe and happy break and see you in 2020, when school resumes on Tuesday 28 January

Yours Education
