Today, Friday, 11 October, was an extra special day for the matrics, their parents, special guests and Union High School’s staff, as all came together for the Class of 2024’s 𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗖𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗬.
Once everyone had gathered in the school hall, Headmaster Mr William Pringle extended a warm welcome to all, after which Deputy Head Boy Josh Neill and Deputy Head Girl Sarah Wilmott led the devotion.
In response to the Headmaster’s address, Head Prefects Na’eem Mahomed and Caytah-Leigh Koeberg spoke on behalf of the class, delivering touching farewell messages.
The Class of 2024 then presented a song, ‘We Are Young’ by FUN and a slideshow of their years at the school to those gathered.
