Graduation Assembly 2025

As teachers, we have had the privilege of watching these children grow – not just in knowledge, but in confidence, kindness, and creativity. Our Year 6 Graduation Assembly was a chance to reflect on all of that and more.

In the weeks leading up to graduation, our classroom was filled with the sound of rehearsals, laughter, and the occasional (friendly) debate about which song best represented our time together. Choosing the music was no easy feat – it took many sessions, long lists, and even longer discussions, but eventually, we agreed on songs that truly captured our shared memories and emotions. They were meaningful, heartfelt, and perfect for the occasion.

The children also spent time crafting and refining their speeches, each one a beautiful reflection of their journey through AWIS. Every student took the stage to share their proudest moments, favourite lessons, and most treasured experiences – from school trips and sports days to science experiments and class projects. Their words were honest, often funny, and always touching. It was clear just how much their time here had shaped them, and we couldn’t have been prouder.

A highlight of the build-up to the big day was the painting sessions, where each student created their own canvas. These stunning artworks were a celebration of individuality and creativity, and the process was just as special as the finished pieces. The children poured their creativity into their paintings, resulting in a colourful gallery that perfectly captured the spirit of our class.

Excitement reached its peak as the children tried on their graduation caps for the first time. The room lit up with pride and anticipation as they looked at each other, beaming and realising how far they’d come. For many, it was a moment of reflection – the end of an era and the beginning of something new.

As we said our final goodbyes at the end of the assembly, there were plenty of hugs, photos and a few tears too. This class has been a joy to teach – curious, lively, thoughtful, and never a dull moment. AWIS won’t be the same without them, and their absence will certainly be felt in the corridors and classrooms.

We wish them all the best in the exciting adventures ahead and hope they carry the spirit of AWIS with them wherever they go.
