Dear Year 6 Students, Parents and Carers,

It is with some sadness yet also joy that we are only moments away from saying goodbye to our Year 6 graduates for 2022.

Throughout 2022 our Year 6 students have lead with integrity, resilience and the organisational skills that they will require as they commence their respective high schools in 2023. Much has been achieved through engaging teaching and learning sessions, the sports gala days, Wakakirri performances, Music, Dance and Choir performances, Athletics carnivals, Swimming carnivals and the well-rehearsed and uplifting Dad jokes that came along with being a Senior. As such, the Year 5 and 6 students should look back on 2022 as one of the best years in their learning journey thus far.

So many of our students have taken on the challenges put before again them this year. They have experienced much success, and it is this attitude that we are immensely proud of each and every one of the Year 5/6 group having truly encompassed the school motto, “I Say, I Do” with grit and determination throughout 2022.

Thank you to the families that have journeyed with us over many years. For some, this will be your final goodbye to Enoggera State School as your youngest graduates this year. On behalf of the Year 5/6 teachers and staff at Enoggera State School, thank you for your overwhelming support, laughter and joint dedication to see your children grow academically, socially and emotionally.

As with many things in life, change can be difficult. As such, after 11 years at Enoggera State School and 20 years with the Department, I will be leaving Enoggera State School at the end of this week alongside the Year 6 students. This decision has not been an easy one. I have enjoyed my role as an Experienced Senior Teacher at Enoggera over the past 11 years. I have a high regard for the quality teaching and learning at this school and have always wanted to see our students excel, to be the best of the best in preparation for high school every year.  

My greatest hope is that you and your family have a restful and enjoyable break over the holidays and that laughter be part of your every day.

Kindest regards,

Darren Roxburgh.
