So that is it. School is officially over for Eleanor bar the turning up for NCEA exams. And so for her parents it is another life event to remind them of their trajectory towards elderly care.
Eleanor did well again. As a member of the leadership team was involved directly: hence the reading of the prayer seen above (excuse the poor quality. Must be a cheap android phone!).
She won a cup for contributions to the special character of the school, a mercy award recognising her overall input and contribution to the school and academically she came first in German. She did not win the German prize cup-not clear why as the usual criterion is around academic success. Shall we ask for a steward’s enquiry?
She again has proud parents. Life will soon move on to new opportunities and challenges. I am sure she will adapt and do well.
Joe’s turn will be soon.
