Year 12 Graduation

On Thursday 18 September we celebrated the Year 12 Graduation. This most important event on our school calendar marks one of the last formal occasions that our Year 12 students will be together as a year group; as such it is seen as a rite of passage. Up till this point their futures have been pretty predictable, five days a week they would be attending school, they knew the timetable you would be following before they arrived, they knew (for most part) who their teacher was going to be, they had an idea of the work they would be doing, and basically had their lives laid out for them while at school. Year 12 leave the predictable structured life that is school to an unpredictable life that will be the next stage in their journey and this will be different for each and every individual. Many students will get to share some of their experiences using Facebook, twitter and other forms of technology. Some will go to study further at a tertiary level, be it TAFE, an Institute of Technology or a University. Some will take a gap year and maybe travel overseas. Others will take on apprenticeships or traineeships.

On behalf of the staff at Henry Kendall High School I wish each and every Year 12 student the best of luck in your HSC and the happiness of a productive life in whatever pathway it is that you have the courage to follow.

Mr Andrew Backhouse - Principal
