On Thursday, 13 June, the graduation ceremony for the third classes of the secondary school was held in our school theatre. An event that marked the end of an important cycle and the beginning of a new adventure for our students.
The ceremony opened with a speech by the headmaster, who emphasised how crucial these three years had been not only for school learning, but also for the personal growth of each student.
The parents' representatives then took the floor, with a heartfelt and poetic speech urging the children to cultivate curiosity and freedom of thought even during the summer, seeking out people and places that can enrich them and avoiding that which empties them.
"Do a lot of sport, be as cheerful as the sun and as indomitable as the sea. At least once go to see the sunrise, breathe deeply and be grateful."
Particularly moving was the moment dedicated to the speeches of the two students who graduated with top marks, Licia B. and Laura V., who spoke on behalf of the entire class. They recalled the challenges faced, the shared commitment, the difficult moments overcome together, but also the laughter, the excitement of the trips and the beauty of friendship.
"Be yourselves, because it is only in this way that the best things really happen".
This was followed by the awarding of diplomas and the institutional class photo that formalised the transition to the new school cycle.
The ceremony ended with convivial refreshments and the impressive balloon release in the courtyard, symbolising the transition to a new chapter in life: high school.
It was an emotional moment, which brought together a sense of belonging and enthusiasm for what was to come. To all our boys, a big good luck for the future!
