Year 12 Final Day
20 October
2021 has been a year of interruptions and constant change due to COVID lockdowns and restrictions for our Damascus community, none more so than for the Class of 2021.
Our Year 12 students have had an extremely challenging year, one where they have unfortunately missed out on many milestone events, as they did in 2020 as Year 11 students. Our group of Year 12 students is an inspiring bunch of young adults, and we are extremely proud of the resilience and fortitude they have developed over the last two challenging years.
On Wednesday 20 October, the community celebrated the Year 12s’ final day. What a wonderful start to the day we had, with all Year 12 students dressed up to the theme “What I want to be when I grow up”. The entire school community was treated to a video showcasing the Class of 2021, followed by a procession of Year 12 students wearing their graduation hats through the campus. Year 11 students and staff formed a socially distanced guard of honour to clap the students out one last time, culminating in the throwing of the graduation caps.
To the Class of 2021, good luck with life after Damascus College. The lessons you have learnt and the challenges you have overcome with such grace and determination will certainly hold you in good stead for whatever life has in store for each of you, next year and beyond. Good luck!
