“Hi, I’m Luke, and I have been at Longford and Fraser for 4 terms now, and would just like to say a few words.
At Longford and Fraser, I have learnt numerous things. I have learnt how to withstand peer pressure, good sportsmanship, not to say ‘um’, how to spot out a lie, how to say ‘no’ and many things that you will need to know to get a job, how to give feedback nicely, how to greet someone that you have never met before and just being friendly.
But Longford and Fraser isn’t just for putting you into shape. There is also a time to let loose and not be serious. It is also a chance to know some good kids and expand your friendship circle and the first day I came in, I saw a safe environment, I saw leaders of the future, I saw somewhere I could be myself, because at Longford and Fraser, you can’t be put down.
The reason all this could be possible is because of our teacher, Ms Anderson. She has been a wonderful mentor and inspiration to all of us to show us what we would achieve, to show us what we would become.
Because of Longford and Fraser I have joined the leadership committee at our school, started a band and got into St Kevin’s. I’m not sure if I would have the courage to do these things if I did not go to Longford and Fraser.
This is my last speech for Longford and Fraser, and I wish you a good evening.
