Looking back on my younger years of school I would always listen to the year 12 regale the house with story\u2019s that involved comradery, mischief during their time as a boarder, in the year 12 farewell speeches.\u00a0 However, I never really knew the how much these speeches really meant to the year 12\u2019s until I gave mine at the end of this term.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the pressure of year 12 there aren\u2019t many times to stop and reflect and this event allows the year 12s to do just that.\u00a0 The speeches allow the boys to thank their parents which may look that a pretty stock standard thing to do but as I know from experience.\u00a0 That sometimes your parents work tirelessly for you with no expectation for something in return.\u00a0 And to give a boy the ability to give something back in the speeches making your parents know how much they mean to you is very special.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The speeches are also allowing the year 12\u2019s to reflect on the years they have spent in the house with the boys in there year.\u00a0 Through making my speech I reflected on all the great memorise that I have made in this house from tom Merriman vomiting on the carpet in the year 10 dorm to Tom Gordons recent blitzkrieg tactic on the school house fantasy footy comp, beating everyone by at least 100 points every round earning his name as the \u2018Statman\u2019.\u00a0 These story\u2019s, although they may be dumb are really important as it highlights the bond and memories that the boys have made and reinforces that even though we may be walking out of the gates in a Couple weeks finished with the HSC and moving on with our lives, the boys of the boarding community will still remain close mates well into the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
