Today, we came together to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and remarkable achievements of our students. This ceremony is not just about recognising academic excellence, but also about honoring the values of perseverance, and hard work.
To our students: You are the heart of this school. Your commitment to your studies, your involvement in extracurricular activities, and your ability to overcome challenges have been truly inspiring and you have made a significant impact on our school community.
Many you have worked tirelessly, faced obstacles, and perhaps even doubted yourselves at times. But you never gave up. You showed resilience, grit and determination, and today we celebrate that spirit.
I want to acknowledge not only the individual accomplishments but also the collective efforts of your peers and teachers. It’s the support and encouragement from each other that creates an environment where greatness can flourish.
To our award recipients: As you receive your accolades today, remember that this is not the end, but a milestone in your journey. The skills, values, and lessons you’ve learned here will serve you well in all your future endeavors. Continue to be curious, courageous, and compassionate. The world needs your talents and your voices.
As we look to the future, let us all be inspired to uplift each other, striving for excellence and making a positive difference in the world.
