Annual Leavers Presentation Evening

This week saw one of the highlights for me in the school calendar; our Annual Leavers Presentation Evening. We changed the format somewhat this year, as previously it had been held here at school so, limited by numbers only award winners have been invited to attend. I fervently believe the achievements of all our leavers should be celebrated and that the GCSE certificates should also be publicly presented and celebrated as they represent the outcome of 11 years of compulsory education.

This year therefore we changed the venue to the Princes Hall in Aldershot, who did a great job for us. We were also delighted to welcome Aaron Phipps as our guest of honour to make all the presentations. Aaron represented Great Britain in the London 2012 Paralympics in wheelchair rugby and as well as presenting our Class of 2015 with their GCSE certificates and subject awards, gave a truly inspirational, humorous but exceptionally thought provoking presentation about his journey to his outstanding achievement. The feedback he received from the students, parents and staff present showed what an impact his words had on us all.

The true guests of honour were though of course the Class of 2015. I felt so immeasurable proud of each and every one of them as they came up onto stage to receive the recognition they so richly deserved. It was fabulous afterwards also to catch up with them about their life after Cove and again to reflect on what wonderful, resilient young people they have become.

This was perfectly summed up by our current head boy Jogerson Gurung, who as well as giving an exceptional vote of thanks to Aaron, explained to the class of 2015 the high regard his year group had held them in. There weren’t many dry eyes in the house (including mine!) as he outlined to them the qualities from his and his peers’ perspective which had made the class of 2015 the exceptional year group they were. Jogerson certainly has a huge fan club now in the year above him!

I will finish with a final congratulation to the class of 2015. To echo Jogerson’s and my own words from the evening, their collective and individual achievements in such challenging external and internal contexts were truly phenomenal.
