GOCNSW Schools conclude successful academic year with memorable End-of-Year celebrations

·

The Greek Orthodox Community of NSW (GOCNSW) proudly marked the conclusion of another successful academic year with a number of End-of-Year ceremonies for its Afternoon and Saturday Schools. 

The enchanting events unfolded at the school halls on various dates starting from December 4 with Beverly Hills North Public School, December 6 at Panania Public School, December 7, 9 and 10 at Clemton Park Public School, and December 11 at Connells Point Public School. 

The festivities vibrated with the energy and enthusiasm of students from all participating schools, who took centre stage to showcase their talents. There were heartfelt poetry recitations, engaging sketches, theatrical plays, soulful singing, and the vibrant rhythms of the traditional Greek Kalanta (Christmas carols).

A highlight of the events was the inauguration of the prestigious “Αιέν Αριστεύειν” Certificate of Excellence award by the Association Vorion Dimon Spartis Orea Eleni of NSW Inc. This distinguished honour, and a $100 voucher, was given to the top four performing students:

  1. Matthew Paton Englezos – Year 4, Summer Hill Campus 
  2. Emmanuel Kasadelis – High School Clemton Park Campus 
  3. Gia Asargiotis – Year 4, Clemton Park Campus 
  4. Victoria Stratis -Year 6, Clemton Park Campus 

President of the Association, Maria Glekas, and Secretary Dimitra Lendros, both expressed profound pride in the students’ accomplishments and their unwavering dedication to the preservation of Greek heritage. 

The End-of-Year ceremonies transcend mere academic recognition; they serve as a vibrant testament to the GOCNSW’s commitment to nurturing cultural spirit and academic excellence among its students.
