Congratulations and farewell to the class of 2022 who received their graduation certificates at their Valedictory Ceremony held on campus on November 10.
Although most of the cohort had only completed their final IB exam four hours prior, the class of 2022 were out to celebrate the momentous occasion, donning their gowns with pride!
QAHS was so grateful to welcome families and friends to the event and invite them inside to have professional portraits captured. The joy and pride in the room was palpable as everyone prepared for the ceremony to begin.
The graduates stole the show as they entered in their academic gown and stole to take their seats. The excitement grew as speeches commenced with the Valedictorian Charli Horchner eloquently putting into words the sentiment of the cohort. Each graduate walked the stage and received their certificate from Principal Mrs Vanessa Rebgetz and proudly became the first state school Year 12 cohort to graduate in Queensland.
The community was entertained by some incredible live music from Year 10 and 11 students post ceremony as well as relaxing together with an afternoon tea. The pride and for some, relief, at reaching the end of their formal schooling, IB Diploma and time at QAHS was clear as families enjoyed a wonderful celebration of a unique group of amazing humans.
QAHS wishes all graduates well in the next steps of their journeys and can't wait to hear what each of the graduating class achieves.
