Logans graduation.....

Yesterday was Logans year 6 Graduation lunch at the bowling club. He has had the best teacher in Miss O'Meara, she has been a great influence in his primary years. I remember quite often Logan coming home & saying, Miss O'Meara said this, and Miss O'Meara said that, and Miss O'Meara told us .........I thought jeez, this is one great teacher. And she is. She took the time to talk to Logan about things in a way that didn't make him feel like a silly little child, she gave him the confidence to have a voice, and he absorbed everthing she taught him. Isn't it great to know that when your child is away from you for so long at school, they are in the hands of someone who creates a relationship with them, that truly values them for the little individuals that they are. I don't know if it is a rare thing, if most times you get teachers who just teach, and not necessarily engage with a child, and maybe our school is lucky to have dedicated teachers all within a small community. But I think good teachers are the most important people in the world. They are a major part of the foundation for all of our future generations and they need to be applauded.........especially our Miss O'Meara!. Congratulations my gorgeous boy, I hope high school is just as rewarding for you. x
Oh, and there were 12 kids in Logans class and two of them will not be continuing on at Bonalbo, but he will be going into a grade 7 class of 23 or so kids!. That is a huge grade for our little school!.
