Curro’s class of 2021 bid farewell
It was a truly auspicious day for Curro Nelspruit to be able to host the 2021 Valediction after not being able to do so the previous year.
Due to the restrictions, and still needing to adhere to Covid-19 protocols, the ceremony was streamed to the learners and educators who were unable to attend the live event.
Pr Shaun Adams of Church Unlimited opened the ceremony with a special devotion to the class of 2021, by reminding them all that the only person worth competing against was each of them individually, and that the learners need to keep in mind that they should always try to be better only than themselves and not to compare themselves to others.
The head girl for 2021, Safa Jina, delivered a very powerful address about how special the class of 2021 really is and how they will never be forgotten, as well as how much the school has done to make each and every one of them feel like individuals and how they were allowed to grow under the guidance of the teachers of Curro Nelspruit.
Nico Bronkhorst and Mike Bownes delivered words of encouragement to the learners and parents who were present, with an emphasis on the importance of taking responsibility for their futures, while keeping in mind that they should never lose sight of the important things in life, such as having a strong faith in God.
A message of thanks was played followed by a slideshow that the grade 12s had prepared showing the highlights of their time at Curro Nelspruit, some of whom have known one another for their entire schooling career.
“We are incredibly proud of our class of 2021. They have shown determination and a positive mindset throughout yet another challenging year. They maintained their high academic standard with the incredible passion and commitment of the staff. We wish them the best of luck with their examinations and all future endeavours. They will always be remembered as the class whose outstanding characters allowed them to persevere and flourish during the on-going international pandemic,” said Bownes.
