| Tiger Mathieson with Ron Hoenig MP |
The St. Mary's Parish Church was filled with teachers,
students and their parents from St. Mary's Catholic Primary School today as the
school celebrated their Annual Presentation Day.
It was wonderful to listen to the words of Father
Barry of the Parish, Acting School Principal Dermott O’Neil and teachers as
they congratulated the graduating 2013 Year 6 students. Graduating from primary
school is a big deal as the students go onto to engage in a new life with new
responsibility and new challenges. I told the students about my dreams in
primary school and how they have come true as I strived to achieve my goals. I went
on to tell them that nothing is beyond them, as long as they always try their
best.
It was delightful to see the church light up as the
students sung hymns and songs in this historic church located in such a
historic part of Sydney. Parents and teachers were so proud of the graduates
and I must say I was also.
I would like to congratulate the Year 6 students on
their achievements and I also would like to recognise Tiger Mathieson on
receiving the Ron Hoenig Outstanding Leadership Award. Tiger served in the role
as School Captain in 2013 & has been an active leader in the schools Minnie
Vinnies program; he has also taken part in many outreach programs and has shown
great initiative in fundraising events.
I would like to wish Acting Principal Dermott O’Neil
well and all the best for his future endeavours as he steps into a new role
next year.
