My Time At Currambena
.~ Preschool ~.
I don’t really remember much about preschool as I was only about three when I started but I do remember becoming really good friends with Evie. Another thing I remember is that one time Lilith, Evie and I drew inside the little blue tent before packaway and got in big trouble and we weren’t allowed to pack away together and we all burst into tears and looking back on that it was really funny.
I do remember having Scarlett as a buddy and also I had Alice as my buddy, I don’t remember much else about my buddies. I’m sure I bossed them around a lot, but they were really fun. The only other thing I remember is having Katrina, Michael and Chris as my teachers. Whenever I would get dropped off at Preschool, my mum would give me to Michael and he would take me down to the swing to make me feel better. I also remember my mum used to babysit Michael after my mum went to Currambena.
.~Kindergarten~.
I also don’t remember too much about kindergarten but I did become good friends with Rose and stayed friends with Evie and a few other people.
Kindergarten was really fun, learning my ABCs and how to read and write and Jess was a really fun good teacher.
.~Year 1& 2.~
In year one I was in a class with the people I’m in a class with now, mostly which was really fun. We had Rosie as a teacher then she left. She was a really great teacher and we all still miss her. Then we had Vinny for a while then Charles came in. I remember sitting next to Lilith and Rose and waiting for Charles to tell us if we were moving up to year two in Sarah’s or not but we all stayed back together and we all fell backwards with laughter and happiness, it was really funny.
Then for year two I think we still had Charles and then Covid 19 hit and we had online classes with Charles then after we finished year two he left.
.~ Year 3~.
I remember a lot more about year three. We started learning how to do a lot more things in year three and we did gratitude everyday. I really enjoyed that and Sarah M. was a really great teacher, especially when we did online learning. Most of my year three was taken up by Covid but a little bit was at school and that was good too. I became better friends with Rose and Evie and a lot of other people.
.~Year 4~.
In year four I was good friends with Evie and Rose and started to be friends with Tt and Zali towards the end. I started to learn cursive and do year five maths which I enjoyed a lot. I don’t really remember much about year four but I went on my first camp which was fun, it was at Mowbray Park farm. My teacher was Leesa but she left so we had Vinnie for the rest of the time in year four.
.~Year 5~.
Year five was probably one of my favourite years. I became good friends with Josh, Zali, Evie, Kai and Tt.
I loved all the harder work and sharing desks with people. I shared a desk with Ewan, Cooper and Evie at the beginning of the year and then Cooper cut my textbook so me and Evie moved and shared it with Zali. So last year we had this thing called banana wars so basically someone started it by putting a rotten banana on Evie’s and my desk, then Evie passed it on to someone else and so on. When Evie, Zali and I shared a desk we did this thing called toilet where Zali would sit in the middle of Evie’s and my chairs and we would say it was a toilet.
At Jervis Bay, Evie and Tt started this show. No details are needed but myself and a few other people were the main characters and the rest of the class just sat around in chairs watching us. ( If you know, you know.)
.~Year Six~.
So this is my last year and it’s been pretty great so far. By the time my time at Currambena is in the newsletter I will have already been to Jervis Bay and I’m sure it’s gonna be great. I embraced my friendships more than ever. As I write this, we are starting to write the play and start the year six project. This year we had a really nice student teacher called Meg and she taught us how to play water polo not in the water though. I also am still great friends with Josh, Tt, Evie and Zali and I’ve started to become closer with Mabel, Ariel and Puffin too. I love everything about Currambena and thank you for everything everyone has done for me, especially my friends and teachers ( credits at the bottom.)
-Overall-
Overall Currambena was definitely the school for me and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if not for Currambena, my friends, teachers, and I will remember it for years to come.
I appreciate everything and I was so blessed to go to Currambena and I don’t know how to properly describe in words how much I’m going to miss it all. This is random but honestly, I think, all up, I had Vinnie as a teacher for longer than any other teacher except maybe preschool but if you add it up, it’s a lot.
