The students were able to attend the ceremony in person in the lower school auditorium while parents and families watched via livestream.

“Your lives and futures will not be defined by the pandemic in the same way as they will not be defined by your report cards or your exams’ results. Your lives will be big and they will be surprising. Some will be remarkable in ways we cannot begin to predict. All of you will be filled with experiences,” upper school principal Iain Fish said in a speech.

The graduation ceremony was the last for director Nicki Crush, who retires at the end of the school year after working there for over 25 years.
