They have remained eager and enthusiastic and they have grown in so many ways. This year has seen them grow and develop exponentially. Today, as we pay tribute to the young ladies and gentlemen of tomorrow, we know that they have started their remarkable journey towards achieving this goal. It is our collective responsibility as we guide and mold the leaders of tomorrow - for it is on them that the future will have to depend. We do indeed need to equip our children with life-long skills to prepare them for adulthood. Stacia Tauscher said, 'We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.'Īs parents and teachers we do put a lot of time and energy into preparing our children for their futures. I know it is difficult to sit still for a long time - so I promise that I'll try and keep my speech as short as possible. Don't they look fantastic? I think they deserves a round of applause before we even begin! Today is all about you girls and boys. I am very aware that today is about the children and as such, my speech is largely aimed at the special young people sitting on stage today. Good Afternoon Ladies, Gentlemen and of course, most importantly, the girls and boys who are graduating from kindergarten today - this is indeed a very special day!
