The School of Total Education in Warwick held its annual Graduation on Sunday 21st November, farewelling its eight graduating students in a wonderful afternoon ceremony which was attended by Southern Downs Mayor, Vic Pennisi. Guest speakers at the event were past students Chris Thornton (2009) and Ruby Doolan (2013) who delivered very genuine and insightful presentations to the students and parents in an authentic and personal style. Encouragement to maintain a good work life balance, to take opportunities as they present themselves and to try and find where your passion lies were all parts f the advice given by the two presenters. The graduating students followed with their own speeches, expressing warm thanks to teachers, parents and friends for their rich and varied learning journeys. A strong sense of connection and readiness to enter ‘the real world’ was conveyed by the conclusion of the students’ speeches. A celebratory afternoon tea for parents, teachers and friends concluded the afternoon.
