Yesterday was the last day of school. We started with the breakfast in Altera Terra, then moved onto our final House Assembly. At the house assembly we were all given a small bag which contained a Year 12 photo of Castlefield, a big Year 12 photo with everyones photo as well as a caricature drawn by Darwin Truong and finally a copy of the House DVD. After the House Assembly we moved onto our final school assembly which was awesome. Amazingly not many water bombs were thrown and it was a fantastic way to see out our last assembly. Then we moved onto chapel where the Rev told his favourite joke, and we all sang Jerusalem for the last time as students. Then to cap off the day we all had lunch with the staff in the Year 12 common room, which was pretty good except there was no where near enough food or drinks. We listened to speeches by Luke Skelton, Matthew Robinson and Adam Ricciuti as well as an impromptu speech by Stephen Cavnoudias.

About 4 hours later we all headed back to school for our graduation. The graduation was rather boring (as was last years) but it marked the official end of my time at Haileybury as a student. Then came the best part of the night, the Valedictory dinner. With free alcohol and awesome music provided by the staff band (thank you Mrs. Kendall) it proved to be an unforgettable night. I got a lot of photos which I have put up on my gallery for those that are interested. All in all yesterday was a day that wont ever be forgotten and it marked the beginning of a new journey. I hope that I will stay in touch with most of the people in my year level, it has been an absolute honour to know you and I wish you all the very best for the future.
