On Friday 23 April we were thrilled to welcome back the Class of 2020 to a special gathering in Centennial Hall. The purpose of the night was to offer an occasion where families and their graduates could come together and reflect on 13 years of education.
Last year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, we had a virtual Graduation and there was a sense of loss of connection within the Year 12 cohort. In acknowledging this, we began planning for a reunion in 2021 which would allow them to gather with their families. Generally, after Graduation, there is a supper and time for families to chat, reconnect with other families and say farewells (until we meet again). The event last Friday night allowed this to happen.
We were so pleased with the response from the students and their families. Centennial Hall was abuzz with over 250 guests and 30 staff, with conversation focused on future plans and aspirations and staying connected with each other and the College. We congratulate this resilient group of young men and women who, despite the many challenges presented to them by COVID-19 during their final year of schooling, are embracing their futures in 2021 with confidence and optimism.
