In her graduation speech after completing all four terms, Miss Nicole Foley presented the following words:
Ladies and Gentlemen, I love coming to Shine every week. It’s a very friendly environment, and we are taught how to deal with difficult people and situations. We are shown videos of people who had lots of reasons to be unhappy but still managed to keep going and have a good life. We learn to look at the bright side, to be grateful, to be polite, and, definitely, not to be a doormat. Ms Anderson has given me lots of great advice, especially: saying your T’s, D’s, and K’s clearly, how to speak in a chest voice, and how to fog bullies. I’d like to thank my parents for enrolling me into this program, and for adding me to the waiting list for the next age group. I’m looking forward to re-joining Shine Academy in the near future. I’d like to thank my peers, for being nice and caring. I wish all the girls in the world could attend a program like this. The world would be a better place if everybody was nice. I’d like to share my appreciation for Ms Anderson, an amazing and inspirational teacher. I’m going to miss Ms Anderson, my peers, the games, the role plays, and the treats. I highly recommend Shine Academy to any girls.
