Amelia, aged almost 8, completed the entire curriculum. This was her graduation speech:
“Good Evening, Ladies and Gentleman and fellow students,
As you all know, this is my last term at Shine and I would like to take this opportunity to thank my teacher, Ms Anderson. She has helped me to become courageous and not to be a passive aggressive snake or an aggressive crocodile or a passive doormat. Ms Anderson has shown me how to be an assertive hero and stand up for myself and others. I have made many friends through this journey and I will be sad to say good-bye but I would like to thank them for their friendship and wish them all the best of luck on their journey.
Finally, I would like to thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to shine and learn to be brilliant. Thank you for listening. Good evening and good night.”
