Prize Giving

This year’s Annual Wyvern Prize Giving for students in Years 3 – 6 will take place in Centenary Hall on Monday 8 December at 9:00am. Students are asked to meet their class teachers at the Senior School outside the Music Centre (next to Centenary Hall) no later than 8:30am wearing their summer uniform minus black cap. Following Prize Giving we invite parents and students to join Wyvern staff for morning tea in the AJ courtyard area at the very end of the driveway.

Whilst we take the opportunity to award a number of prizes for outstanding achievement (categories listed below), Prize Giving is primarily an opportunity for the Wyvern community to mark and celebrate a most positive year. As such, this event is a compulsory activity for all students in Years 3-6. Although the final school day for students in K-2 is Friday 5 December, K-2 families are most welcome to attend Prize Giving.  The end of the ceremony marks the official start of the summer break.

Bus Zone

We have been successful in having the bus zone on Cambridge Street both extended and relocated away from the driveway. This will make turning into Cambridge Street a much safer manoeuvre. Please note that the operational times of the bus zone have not been changed eg. 7.45am – 8.30am and 2.45pm – 3.45pm.
