It’s my great pleasure to have attended the speech day this year. I’m glad that I was there to share the joy of the graduates, and I can never forget the moments of receiving their name cards and reading their names in school probably for the last time. It’s also very pleasing to see those who had been working very diligently receiving prizes on stage. As a senior form teacher, I find ‘Igniting the Flame’ the most impressive and meaningful part of the night. The electric candles and the angelic voices of the school choir perfectly enhanced the ambience and I believe the scene touched everyone’s heart.

The speech day didn’t only represent years of graduates’ hard work. It also celebrated the lasting friendship cultivated in the past years. I saw graduates giving each other their tightest hugs and juiciest kisses; I saw graduates taking endless selfies as if it was the final chance for them to get together; I saw happy faces turned melancholic when the clock struck nine, as it was the time for the gowns to be returned and that symbolized the end of the secondary school life. Though tears might well up in eyes when saying goodbye, it’s important to know that the night was not only for reminiscing the past, but also for looking forward to the future.

Despite the fact that I am not one of the 2013-2014 graduates, it is my tremendous privilege to have attended the speech day as a prize winner and one of the representatives for 'Igniting the frame'. I believe Speech day is one of the most significant life events as it symbolises the end of our secondary school life, but at the same time, the start of another new stage of our life. Speech day represents the transition of our growth. Not only does it allow us to rekindle the unforgettable memories we had with our dearest teachers and adorable peers, but it also remind us it is the time to consider our future. I think Speech Day means a lot to me and as a current S6 student, I can't wait to be one of the graduates next year and I am looking forward to meeting all my former teachers. Does Speech Day mean a lot to you?
