The ceremony was opened by our Executive Principal, Derek Laidlaw, who welcomed everyone with heartfelt words for the attendees.
“It has been an absolute pleasure for me to see the students progress through the school, some of whom are founding students. I am immensely proud to have been given the honour of witnessing them grow – both academically and personally – and I am excited to see them each embark on their next phase of their academic adventures at university and beyond. I very much hope that each of you will remain in touch with the school, and eagerly await reuniting with you at one of our Alumni Reunions in the near future! Congratulations on these outstanding achievements.”

The school were honoured to welcome Mr Antonio Schulthess, Chief People Officer at Qatar Airways and Chairman of the School Board, who delivered an inspiring speech to the graduates.
