Elementary graduation speech6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() I believe that most of the students at this school, particularly as they contemplate leaving it, are aware of how special a place it is.Ī great many things of course, but for me the stand-out aspect is Diversity. I may have occasionally subjected them, unprompted, to grumpy middle-aged rants along the lines of, “You don’t know how lucky you are!” Which really is not fair, because they are well aware of how lucky they are. I have been, over the last eight years, green eyed with jealousy for Sebastian’s and Julian’s opportunities here at The Fort. I would have loved to have gone to this school. That involvement has given me some behind-the-scenes insight into how the school is run, the dedication of the school staff and of many parents, and also a chance to observe and get to know quite a number of students, including a good few who are graduating here tonight.Īnd through all that, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is a rather special place. I imagine I was asked to speak tonight mainly because I have been heavily involved with the school’s Instrumental Music Program over the past eight years. ![]() ![]() I have the honour to speak on behalf of all the parents here tonight, and to represent some of our thoughts and reflections on the happy occasion of seeing our daughters and sons graduate from Fort Street High School.
