Dear Class of 2019

Just the other day you were starting out in high school and now you have reached the final year and it is time to say goodbye. Some students, especially those who have been at Michael Mount for many years, may have found the matric year, with its emphasis on academic challenges, time-schedules, endless projects and due dates, a huge change to the rhythm of the Waldorf curriculum, but, at the same time, the matric year offered new ventures and opportunities.

For us, as your class guardians this year, it was a privilege to assist you individually to put things in perspective when the pressures became overwhelming. It was heart-warming for us when you achieved your goals and accomplished the difficult tasks given to you and it was gratifying to celebrate with you, the moment you were accepted at the tertiary institutions of your choice in order to pursue your chosen career.

Thank you for rising to the challenges that you encountered. Thank you for making us proud as teachers at Michael Mount Waldorf School.

We wish you well for the future,

“Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true. ”
–Ralph Waldo Emerson
