Zara has completed the entire curriculum. In her graduation speech she spoke these words:
“Firstly, I would like to thank Miss Anderson for being such a wonderful, inspirational teacher and for helping me to become a confident, assertive person. It has been fun over the terms and I have made some wonderful friends. I would like to thank the whole class for being so kind and caring. I have had so much fun; I really don’t want to leave.
SHINE has taught me so much, I can’t think of any words to justify just how great it really is. My knowledge of the world and in manners and etiquette has deepened vastly and throughout the terms I have learnt how to become a confident leader. If I had never of come to SHINE and met everybody then I think my life would never have been as good. Since being here I have changed and grown and people have commented on that.
The programs have assisted me greatly but it’s not just them that have helped. It has been Miss Anderson. She has inspired me and has been the one who has made it so great. SHINE would not be SHINE without her.
Thank you so much for supporting me and helping me to shine. Thank you.
