In conclusion, the Principal reminded each student of the special mark she had left on the KRB community. “Think about the first day you walked through the gates into Kincoppal-Rose Bay, think about how you have grown, the person you have become. Think of today as the commencement of the new you, equipped and shaped by our school community. In the years to come we will look forward to hearing and seeing how you have developed yourselves and how you’ve chosen to make your legacy to the world."
