One chapter ends as a new one begins for 56 year 12 students at Whitsunday Anglican School.
The students sang the school song for the last time last Friday, November 18, before walking through a ‘Walk of Honour’, bringing a close to their schooling years.
School Captains Medha Dammalapati and Charlie Webb said the occasion was “extremely bittersweet”.
“All of the memories left behind but also the freedom of the new world,” said Medha.
“You’re leaving behind all these memories and all of these people you love and you’ve grown up with.”
“It’s exciting, scary, all of the above,” added Charlie.
“A whole new chapter of our lives has just been unlocked and we’re excited to take on what the world has to offer.”
The students began their senior year virtually as the pandemic restricted school attendance.
“They’ve been able to move through the many challenges and trials and tribulations and through the adversity and they’ve been outstanding the whole way,” said Whitsunday Anglican School Principal Andrew Wheaton.
“They’re an outstanding cohort.
“Each and every year we continue to be absolutely astounded by what our students achieve.
“The best advice that we can give our students is to really just be themselves and to follow their passions.”
