Michael has just completed the entire four terms of curriculum. This was his graduation speech:
My name is Michael Armstrong.
Thank you to all of you for being here today.
My special thanks goes out to firstly my parents for allowing me to come to Longford & Fraser.
Secondly, Miss Anderson for her positive attitude & brilliant teaching ability
and lastly to my fellow students for their ongoing support.
Longford & Fraser has been a wonderful learning experience for me.
I have learnt great social skills which have given me strength and control of my emotions that I didn’t have before. I am more resilient when I’m under stress. This has given me an advantage over others in my age group with my ability to take the lead and be confident.
I will always strive to maintain these skills and I’m sure I will see my peers in their leadership roles down the track; maybe beside me in the Lodge & in Parliament House. Remember to vote for me when you see my name come up for election.
Thank you & good evening.
