Connie completed the entire four term curriculum in 2017.
This was her graduation speech.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, my name is Connie and firstly, I would like to thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to come to SHINE, and to wake me up on early every Saturday morning.
Secondly, I would like to thank Miss Anderson for the four unforgettable terms I have experienced and teaching me to be lion not a sheep, how to say no politely and how to be an assertive hero.
My favourite game was marbles. The aim of this game was to roll your marble closest to the cross on the floor as possible. This game teaches us good sportsmanship; if you lose there is always next time.
The knowledge I will take with me for the rest of my life is my FIVE STAR handshake, because in the first 10 seconds of you meeting a new person, they decide if they like you or not. So, I think it is fairly important.
The thing that helped me most at school was the W.I.N. formula. For example, if my friend broke my IPad, I would say: “When you broke my IPad, I felt a little sad and disappointed. Next time could you please be more careful.
Lastly, I would like to thank my peers for the most enjoyable four terms in my life! They have made SHINE like a second home.
Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes my speech. Thank you and have a great weekend.
