FAREWELL SPEECH

Good morning Respected Sr. Gracy, teachers, parents and my dear friends.

I'm honoured to stand on this podium once again and maybe for the last time as the spokesperson of the 170 gorgeous young ladies sitting down there. As I stand on the precipice of departure, my heart swells with gratitude and emotion, and it is imperative for me to express my deepest thanks to our parents. In the relentless journey of life, you've been the commanders of our first steps, teaching us that a journey of a thousand strides begins with the audacity to take that first step. Thank you, dear parents, for the gift of education and the privilege of being admitted to this prestigious institution.

13 years ago we got the nurturing souls who have been our guiding lights – the Sisters of our beloved institution.
Thank you, dear Sister Gracy and all the sisters of the Convent, for creating a heaven on earth within the walls of CJM. You are the angels that have graced our lives, and your impact will resonate in our hearts forever.

In the sacred halls of this institution, dear teachers, you've not just imparted lessons from textbooks but life lessons.
You've been more than instructors; you've been the architects of our dreams, the alchemists who turned confusion into clarity and fear into courage.
Reflecting on our journey from being frightened five-year-olds to the confident teenagers standing before you today, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the pivotal role you've played in shaping our lives.

Dear administrative staff, Thank you for being the backstage crew, ensuring that the show of our school life runs seamlessly.

A big thank you to the helpers. From maintaining the cleanliness of our surroundings to ensuring the smooth functioning of daily operations, you've been the unsung heroes of our everyday lives.

Let's have a round of applause for our dear 11thies for organizing our farewell and making this day even more special for us. Thank you Juniors!

Batch of 2024, can I have your attention pls. Before I dive into the sentimental pool, let's take a moment to appreciate the fact that we're all here, beautifully dressed.
And I feel we should do this together.
Guys join me....we all are looking so beautiful, so elegant just looking like a wow.

As I conclude my speech, let these words resonate with the laughter we shared, the challenges we conquered, and the unbreakable bond that defines us.

From walking the big distance of 10 steps from junior to senior school,
To getting introduced to new teachers and finding them oh-so-cool
From collecting onions and potatoes as juniors
To fighting over paneer patties as seniors

From dreaming of superstars,
To having crushes on green coats
We've surely come a long way.

From having weird K-Poppers as friends,
To getting weird Christmas titles when the year ends.
From sitting in class and vibing with Swifties,
To sunbathing in the lawn every now and then.

From being defaulters in the morning assembly
To hiding behind the bushes during the morning jogs.
We are a wacky, mixed up bunch of kids.
Some are easy going, some reserved, and everybody's different.
But there's a common thread that binds us all,
A convent school, with a red brick wall.
But we'll remember this place for evermore,
-and yeah, we're CJMites to the core.
Together let's continue to serve with love.

And that's your head girl
