I had an amazing time at my Congregation ceremony in 2018. As well as being a brilliant sunny day, it was a real celebration of everything we’d achieved over the last three years. From Grant hyping us up and making us feel comfortable before the ceremonies, to the Natural Sciences celebration at Chad’s with James Blowey and Carrie Ambler after the ceremony, it was a day to remember!

A very happy moment!

From the first day of stepping into this institution to the final steps of our graduation, we have shared an incredible journey together. The forged friendships, knowledge gained, and experiences, have left an indelible mark on my soul. These memories have shaped, guided, and inspired me to reach new heights. As we stand on the precipice of new beginnings, let us remember these memories as the foundation of our future endeavours. I am forever grateful for the bonds we have formed and the moments we have shared.
