Here you go- photos from Kyle's Year 6 formal. This first photo is of my spiffy looking boy outside the school. Getting his graduation certificate and class photo from the principal Mr Lavendar. Mr Lavendar has been the principal there for 10 years and has a great affinity with the students but sadly this was his last official function as he has now retired. :(

The boys - whilst Kyle is bit of a loner this is the small group of boys he calls his friends. He doesn't make friends easily but when he does he is extremely loyal.

Kyle and Nathan having fun posing and being "cool" together

Kyle with his teacher from the last 2 years Mrs Wade. I have loved having her as Kyle's teacher. She is a person who loves her job and cares for each and every one of her students. She takes the time to get to know them and what they like. She was discussing memories of Kyle dating back to Year 1 when she met him whilst she was doing playground duty.

After the formal part of the evening the parents left and the kids went into the hall for their meal (served by Year 5 students) and some dancing. The hall was decorated in an alien theme which Kyle loved. The parents were invited to join them at about 8:45. Tasha and I got back to the hall a little bit early and found Kyle having a blast!

Doing the Macarena

And the hustle

And then the parents were invited to join in. Kyle came over and asked me for a dance and we did the Barn dance and Pride of Heron. Then he had a dance with his sister Tasha.

He had a great night and ended the night giving his mates a hug goodbye - they are all off to different schools next year! so next year is going to be a big one - new school - new friends - new school system (no more 1 classroom).
