I cannot believe that this is the last year of Junior
School before we move onto Senior School
and, as I reflect on the amazing experiences
I have had, I would like to thank the teachers
who are always there to help or answer my
questions.
There are so many great memories that I will
take with me from my time in the Junior School,
but the most outstanding are being asked to
join the P6 and P7 first rugby teams and
becoming a Castle House Captain. I was inspired
by the House Captains when I listened to them

that it offered.
When I was told that I had won the election, I
was in disbelief and I was so grateful that people
had voted for me.

they won’t darken the amazing times that I have
had in the Junior School.
