Welcoming Year 7 Performing at Mass

These past two years have not been easy, and we have all experienced our fair share of unprecedented chaos. From COVID flipping our lives upside down to our final exams being pushed back again and again, we have been the year that has had to keep adapting to the world and situation around us, yet we have persevered. Every one of us has shown character, grit and determination, and although we may have tripped at times along the path, we can walk away with heads held high knowing we conquered the wildest final year we possibly could have. We have all shown drive and resilience, and that is something we should take pride in.

To the teachers who have guided us through this journey, thank you. You provided us with the resources and knowledge to make it through these years, you were the catalysts that gave us the drive to stick out the challenges and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Although I won’t miss the homework or the practice essays, I will always remember the conversations and laughs we had inside these classrooms, and the time and sacrifices you gave for each and every one of us. It is a teacher’s job to guide the next generation as role models, and you have all done an amazing job. In whatever careers and journeys we take from here on, we hope to make you proud.

Finally, to the boys, in the year group surrounding me, in Year 7 we were strangers, but now in Year 12 we leave as mates who have shared countless experiences together and formed a bond that will never be forgotten. At the end of the day, our marks may not influence our lives in the future, but we will always carry the laughs we have had and memories we have made together. It has been a pleasure to survive the rollercoaster of high school with a group of interesting, hilarious and proud lads beside me, and I pray that we will all find success and happiness. To every one of you, congratulations and good luck.

As we take on this new chapter in our lives always remember to tackle it with a smile, and stick close with the people surrounding you. Now and forever, we are the Eddies class of 2021. For the final time, ‘Stay classy St Edward’s’.
