GRADUATION WALK CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2017 I have had the delightful privilege of attending nine Graduation Walks while performing my role as PA to the Senior School Principals. This is an annual tradition of the graduating students taking a final walk through the community and surroundings that have been their home of learning, building friendships and exploring their passions and talents, during their years at Kristin. When my son walked with his fellow graduates in 2015, the ceremony became even more emotional for me, knowing that this would nearly be the last time he saw most of his peers together. It was a symbolic ‘rite of passage’ as he headed into his final prizegiving ceremony. With the Junior and Middle School students watching with wide eyes, handing the students artwork or flowers, or running up to give them cuddles, it is truly a moment when you realise again that we are a united community; that we feel and share in this excitement and milestone together.
