Valedictory Class of 2025

Friday 13th December marked the end of a chapter for our Class of 2024. The Year 12 Valedictory dinner was a beautiful reminder of how far our students have come and how much they have grown throughout their high school years. The smiles, the pride, and the excitement in the air were contagious, making this moment one that will be cherished for a lifetime. We thank the families, friends, and teachers that came along to celebrate the myriad achievements of our Year 12 cohort.

Good evening all,

I would like to open by congratulating each and everyone in this room for making it through secondary school and for pushing and trying even in the hardest times.

And now that we're graduating, I believe we should celebrate all our accomplishments and everything we've achieved in our time at Lalor North here tonight. 

When I first arrived to Lalor North in 2021, it was also my arrival to Australia. A whole new environment for me. And standing here knowing that I've overcome a great milestone in my life, I have many people to be grateful for.

Firstly and foremost, my mother, who has had my back every step of the way. She never gave up on me. She will always be my biggest supporter and the person I aim to be. Thank you mum

Secondly, I'd like to extend thanks to my teachers here at Lalor North for being the most amazing staff and for providing an enjoyable schooling experience, thank you Mrs Batsakis, Mr Sivakumaran, Ms Russo, Mr Fonstin, and a very special thanks to Mrs Long Van Smith, who helped me find comfort at the school and pushed me to do my best everytime and always had valuable advice to share that would end up shaping my education, therefore my future.

Lastly I want to thank my close friends, Joy, Sozvin, Nagham, and Raouaa for making me feel at home when I was the farthest away from home. They supported me when I was at my lowest and celebrated me at my highest. They are the reason I smile when I look back at Lalor North Secondary College.

I hope you all enjoyed your time at Lalor North and have good memories to look back on. 

Thank you for listening,

I wish you all a prosperous and happy future. 

Enjoy the rest of your night.
