The recently concluded academic year was marked by a significant milestone for our year 6 and year 8 students, as they celebrated their graduation in a grand ceremony held on Wednesday, 26 June 2024. The event was a celebration of the hard work, dedication, and achievements of our students, who are now ready to embark on their next academic endeavours.
The ceremony was a celebration of academic excellence and a recognition of our students’ well-rounded development. Awards were presented in various categories, including subject-specific awards, as well as the prestigious “Student of the Year” accolade, which was awarded to Belinda Hui, a shining example of academic and personal growth.
The evening was filled with a diverse range of performances by our students, including a rendition of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Fantasia in D minor, while the year 8 students treated the audience to a soulful performance of Maroon 5’s “Memories.” Additionally, the year 6 students sang a touching performance of the Chinese song “再见 / Goodbye.”
One of the highlights of the evening was the heartwarming and light-hearted videos showcased during the ceremony. Year 6 students delighted the audience with a playful video in which they impersonated their teachers, a testament to the strong bonds and mutual understanding they have developed over the year.
As Headmaster Robert Fox aptly stated, “There was a lovely atmosphere in the room with a perfect balance between the formal prize giving and presentations alongside a range of musical performances. A highlight for many was the Year 6 video which showed just how well the children know their teachers as well as a poignant closing performance by all pupils in Year 8 singing ‘Memories’ – there was barely a dry eye in the house, testament to the friendships the children have made over the course of the last few years as well as the strong relationships developed by the pupils and staff.”
Lastly, the year 6 and year 8 prefects delivered heartfelt speeches, reflecting on their journeys and the invaluable lessons they have learned during their time at the school.
As the graduates prepare to embark on their next academic adventures – whether at renowned institutions like Eton College, Badminton, or Rugby School, or continue their studies with us, or other top secondary schools in Hong Kong – Headmaster Robert Fox expressed his well-wishes, stating, “We wish them all well as they move on to their next adventures in Hong Kong and overseas. They are certainly ready for the next challenge, and I am sure they will make the most of the opportunities that await them.”
Our school community is filled with pride and excitement as our year 6 and year 8 students take their next big steps towards their future endeavours.
