Valedictory The Class of 2021 celebrated their Valedictory on Thursday 2 December 2021. In his speech, Headmaster Mr Michael Parker paid tribute to their tenacity and leadership: ‘You led the school very well indeed – as House Captains, as activity Captains and as whole school leaders. A special mention to Conor, Rohan and Nick who led the whole year group steadfastly through a tumultuous time.’ 2021 Senior Prefect Conor Corcoran said: ‘As a cohort, the lessons that we have learnt, the triumphs and hardships that we have shared and the friendships that we have formed won’t leave us after we walk out of the gates for the last time. These are the experiences that allowed us to grow into the people we are today. And these are the experiences that will remain with us long after we graduate.’ Image: 2021 Senior Prefect Conor Corcoran addressing the audience.
