Year 11 students celebrate their time at Highfields during a memorable Leavers Assembly. The final assembly served as a poignant celebration of their time at the school, filled with cherished memories, accolades, and a sense of camaraderie that will be cherished forever.
The assembly began with a heart-warming tribute as a collection of photographs capturing the students' journey throughout their time at Highfields was shared. Laughter, smiles, and a touch of nostalgia filled the room as students reminisced about their unforgettable moments and the friendships they had forged over the years.
The assembly also featured light-hearted and entertaining awards that brought smiles and laughter to students. Awards, such as "Most Likely to Appear on Broadway," "Most Likely to Own the Swankiest Car," and "Best Couple," added a playful touch to the proceedings. These awards showcased the students' unique personalities and showcased the close-knit community that had formed within the year group. The recipients of these fun accolades were met with cheers and applause, adding an extra layer of enjoyment and camaraderie to the memorable event.
To conclude the assembly on a jubilant note, the Year 11 team took centre stage and treated Year 11 to a spirited rendition of S Club 7's hit song, "Reach." Their energetic performance filled the room with an infectious sense of joy, and the familiar lyrics resonated deeply with the students, symbolizing their aspirations and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.
Mr Treble, Head of Upper School, expressed his admiration for the Year 11 students, stating, "It has been an absolute privilege to witness your growth, resilience, and achievements during your time at Highfields. As you embark on new journeys, remember the lessons you've learned and the friendships you've cultivated here. We have every confidence that you will go on to make a positive impact in the world."
The heartfelt farewell continued as the students were treated to a delightful surprise—an ice cream treat to savor the moment and create new memories together. The cheerful chatter and laughter echoedthroughout the assembly hall as students mingled, sharing stories, and signing each other's shirts, a tradition marking the end of their time at Highfields.
