How Kincumber Primary School is promoting the virtues
December 11, 2008 on 8:20 pm | In Confidence | 1 CommentImagine going to a junior school end of year presentation night and see that the school is actively promoting “Values”. I was lucky enough to attend our children’s school presentation last night and the values; self reliance, organisation, resilience, getting along and confidence were prominently displayed on the main stage. What a great way of promoting some of the 52 Virtues!
Here is a photograph of our daughter Phoebe with the Award for Music. She got the award because of her enthusiasm towards being in the school choir, the violin ensemble and the dance troupe.
“It is with great pleasure that we present Phoebe Beckers with the Col Murray Music Award. Phoebe’s love of music has been evident throughout her seven years at Kincumber Public School.
 She has participated in numerous musical activities and is multi-talented. Phoebe sings, dances and plays the violin. She has been a committed and enthusiastic member of the school choir since year 3 and has attended all performances. Phoebe’s favourite dance styles are jazz and hip-hop and she has participated for the past two years in the school talen quest. This year her dance troup was placed 1st in their preliminary final for their performance in the quest and she also attended a Creative Arts Camp for dance.
 Phoebe’s love for playing the violin has extended to public performance of the instrument. She has played at many schools assemblies, the Gosford City Council Environmental Awards ceremony and a member of the violin troupe that performed impressively at the Sydney Opera House.
Congratulations Phoebe, you are an inspiration to others and a very worthy recipient of this award for 2008.”
With Phoebe is a display box with one of the schools values. Phoebe’s self-confidence allowed her to gain the award and we are vey proud of you Phoebe, congratulations on your award.
