Watching students graduate is always one of the most emotional moments in a teacher’s journey of nurturing and educating young minds. Let us listen to the heartfelt messages that our teachers would like to share with their students as they stand on the threshold of a new chapter in life.
Ms. Lê Thị Thùy Trang
Homeroom Teacher of Kangaroo 2 Class – WASS Kindergarten
“Each graduation season brings a flood of emotions. I am happy to see my students growing more confident and ready to embark on a new journey. Yet, there is also a sense of nostalgia as I say goodbye to the familiar faces who have been part of my daily life for so long.
As the teacher of Kangaroo Class, I have witnessed countless memorable momentsfrom the days when the children were shy and hesitant to the times when they bravely spoke up, performed confidently in front of an audience, and learned to care for and support their friends. Their growth happened little by little, often in ways they did not even notice themselves.
On graduation day, seeing them dressed in their gowns fills me with pride. What makes me happiest is not how much knowledge they have gained, but the fact that they have learned to love, share, and come to school with joy each day.
Saying goodbye is not the endit is the beginning of a new adventure. I believe each child will continue to shine in their own unique way. No matter where life takes them, I will always remember Kangaroo Class with great affection and countless beautiful memories.”
Ms. Trần Vũ Nam Bình
Homeroom Teacher of Class 5A – Sydney School
“The final year of primary school may not seem like a long period in one’s life, but for my students and me, it has been an invaluable journey. Accompanying them from the first days of the academic year to the moment they graduate and become more mature is one of the most unforgettable memories of my teaching career.
Graduation is not simply the day students receive their certificates; it is a meaningful milestone that marks the end of a chapter filled with cherished memories under the School’s roof. I vividly remember the times we worked through the pressures of examinations together, the hours of dedicated study, and the laughter that echoed through lessons and extracurricular activities. Over time, we became like a family. I have been fortunate to witness every step of their growth, seeing them become more confident, knowledgeable, and prepared to face new challenges.
Now, my emotions are stronger than ever. Watching them proudly wear their graduation gowns fills me with both pride and nostalgia. Their youth remains here, and a part of my own youth travels forward with them.
I know that beyond these school gates lies a much bigger world, full of opportunities but also challenges. Before they spread their wings and fly, I would like to leave them with one message: Always hold on to your passion, determination, and kindness as you strive for new heights. I wish you a future that is bright, fulfilling, and meaningful. Thank you for all the wonderful memories we have shared.”
Ms. Đỗ Phạm Như Ý
Homeroom Teacher of Class 9D – WASS
“Every graduation season brings special emotions. Watching my Grade 9 students complete their lower secondary journey fills me with both pride and nostalgia as I reflect on how much they have grown.
Some students arrived shy and uncertain in a new environment, yet after four years they have become confident, resilient, and caring individuals. What moves me most is not only their academic achievements but also the way they have matured in their thinking, behavior, and perseverance. Each student has their own unique personality and leaves behind beautiful memories in the hearts of their teachers.
There were moments when classmates disagreed or had misunderstandings. What I treasure most is that, through it all, they continued to stand by one another throughout their school years. I believe that as they grow older, they will understand one another even more and smile together again as true friends.
Graduation season also reminds teachers of the true meaning of education. We do not simply teach knowledge; we accompany students through some of the most emotional and transformative years of their lives.
Whenever I see students wearing their graduation gowns, I feel as though I am witnessing them step into a new chapter. My greatest hope is that wherever life takes them, they will continue to hold on to kindness, gratitude, and the determination to keep striving forward.”
Ms. Lê Hồng Mỹ Kim
Homeroom Teacher of Class VAP-12A – PennSchool
“Every graduation season leaves teachers with many emotions, but this year’s graduation holds a particularly special meaning for me.
My Grade 12 students represent a unique milestone in my teaching journey. They were the first students I taught as a Grade 10 homeroom teacher, and they are also the first students I have guided as a Grade 12 homeroom teacher. Perhaps because of this, throughout the years we have spent together, they have become more than just studentsthey are a treasured part of my most meaningful teaching memories.
Watching them grow from uncertain high school freshmen into young adults standing at the threshold of adulthood today fills me with gratitude. They have brought me joy, valuable lessons, and, above all, the inspiration to continue loving this profession and believing in the positive impact of education. Witnessing their growth each day has been one of my greatest sources of pride.
If I could, I would wish for time to slow down just a little, allowing these moments to last a bit longer. But everyone must grow up. The time has come for them to leave the familiar embrace of the School and step into the wider worldto discover themselves and continue writing their own stories.
What I hope for most is not that they become the most outstanding or the most successful individuals. I simply hope that they remain strong, kind, and happy with the choices they make. Take your time to grow. The future still holds countless possibilities waiting to be discovered, and there is no need to chase anyone else’s light. Every person has their own path and their own way of shining.
The world may wish for your success; I simply wish for your peace and happiness every single day.
Wherever life may take you, I will always remember you with deep affection and immense pride.”
