AS YEAR 12 COMES TO A CLOSE...

12

…Although I am ready to leave school, I am also sad…

…My friends here will be with me for life and friendships are never restricted to year groups…

…We have really amazing teachers who give us as much help as we need, both during and after School…

…You know it’s spring when there is a group of ducklings on the Front Lawn…

…Dragging myself out of bed is never easy but I always make time to walk around the grounds before school at least once a week; it’s worth it…

…my favourite memories will be of skit nights, dress-up dinners, concerts, camp outs, discos, birthday waffles, 40 years on, socials, full School‘cops and robbers’, Carols by Candlelight, Birthday lunch, Christmas lunch, Bush Dance, Father-Daughter Ball, Iris Country Fair, Girls vs Teacherssoftball, netball and hockey matches... the list goes on...

…the feeling of walking through the mist on the Games Field while the rest of the school is still snuggled in bed…

…the nights of fire alarm practice – all of us standing outside in our ‘jammies’ with our teddies …

…the smell of the wisteria on the way to the dining room …

…lying on the front lawn on my last Saturday night at Frensham with girls who I have known for six years singing and marvelling at the bright moon that outshone the stars …
