Good morning fellow graduates, parents, families, and KC knights.

As we have graduated from our respective levels and schools, change would be inevitable.
No doubt is it, and indeed gratifying that our parents see us graduates as newly matured and ready
with skills proficient enough to tackle and further our life-long education. It is inevitable that
structures and processes and relationships will change in our habitual lives. Parents, it is inevitable
that your children will face new challenges and it is inevitable that things may seem a little different
in the year ahead.
I would like to pay tribute to each and every one of the graduates. You have all left and will
continue to leave an indelible legacy of excellence, achievement and a fine ethos and tradition for
generations to come. I would also like to pay tribute to the wonderful parents who have all guided,
molded and shaped the Ladies and Gentlemen standing here tonight. Your role has been hugely
instrumental in molding our youth...our hope for the future. So Ladies and Gentlemen, as you face
and tackle these inexorable changes, hold true to yourself. Remember to hold onto your value
system, your work ethic and most importantly, your humanity. It is these qualities that will guide you
further on your journey. Today's achievements may fade or even be forgotten. The applause may
become a distant memory and your certificates and medals may gather dust on a shelf or in a
drawer. But, you will always be remembered for caring enough, for creating something
unimaginable, for making someone feel special and appreciated, and for being the well-formed
person that others enjoy spending time with. Your life is a remarkable occasion and I have no
doubt that you will rise to it!
As I learned in my two years of Latin class, Duc in Altum, which means put out into the
deep. Cast out your nets, have faith, be strong. These words ring out for us today, and they invite
us to remember the past with gratitude, to live the present with enthusiasm and to look forward to
the future with confidence.
Congratulations to all the Graduates of Batch 2014.
