Leavers' Dinner: Class of 2022

Leavers’ Dinner: Class of 2022

It was wonderful to welcome our II Seniors and their

parents for a proper celebration of their time at Queen’s! As well as so many current teachers, it was also lovely to catch up with several recently retired members of staff who returned for the evening to wish their former students well. After a lively drinks reception with parents in the Lower Common Room, the pupils and many members of staff moved upstairs to the Hall – which had been transformed with a light canopy and beautiful decorations – for a delicious dinner. The photobooth proved very popular with our leaving pupils, as well as the ‘Most likely to be…’ board! Maya, our departing Senior Student, made a powerful and moving speech about this cohort’s time at Queen’s and what the community meant to them. We know this year group have faced particular challenges because of the pandemic, and all the uncertainty around public examinations that came with that, but we are enormously proud of their resilience and maturity. We expect great things in the future from the Queen’s Class of 2022!
