Yesterday marked the end of the final act in the final part of my compulsory schooling, my education within the many walls of Truro School and my GCSEs. One of the most stressful times of my life so far has ended and the next is about to begin.
As I move away from Cornwall, yesterday provided one last chance to say a few final goodbyes and thank-yous; and I suppose that this post is really a final goodbye to Cornwall and all my friends here, and invite them to stay in contact. As the school year ended yesterday with the traditional speech day and prize-giving, and it was truly an honour to receive the prize for fifth form Religious Education and the joint prize for Public Speaking with Frances.
The teachers that have guided me over the past 5 years have been exceptional for me and the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme has truly helped me to grow as a person and I must offer my unreserved thanks to Mr. Moncaster and all the other staff involved with this amazing scheme. The Christian Union under the leadership of Rev. de Gruchy has helped me grow spiritually, and for which I am very grateful.
I must also wish the schools Debating Society the best of luck in the upcoming debating competitions, and I hope to meet you at one of these as part of my new sixth form. I must also thank Mr. Mac-Donald for all his pastoral leadership as form tutor.
I also thank Dr. Allen for providing a constant supply of interesting lessons in physics, and Dr. Flood for igniting an interest in History which has caused me to choose History in an otherwise unrelated curriculum of Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry.
