Farewell Class of 2022
Upper Sixth students celebrated their time at RGS last week with two special events.
The Upper Sixth Graduation Ceremony was held in Perrins Hall. The evening was an opportunity to celebrate both the successes of the past and look forward to a bright future.
After a welcome from Head of Sixth Form, Mr Mark Evetts, the students were presented with Certificates and Prizes, awarded for their contributions and achievements whilst at the School.
Students then welcomed Guest of Honour, Megan Harrison (née Fairlie), who attended The Alice Ottley School and RGS Worcester in 2000 – 2009, and who talked about her career working for well-known names in business technology, such as Cisco Systems, Salesforce and Google Cloud. Megan’s expert advice for navigating the next stage in our Leavers’ lives was very well received by the students and their parents. The Headmaster then completed the event with a speech summarising their many achievements and wishing them all the very best for the future.
The Upper Sixth Leavers’ Ball was a further special occasion for the Class of 2022 and a perfect way to celebrate the life-long friendships forged at RGS Worcester, before students embark on the next chapter of their lives; University, Gap Years, Higher-Level Apprenticeships or the world of work. Students enjoyed a three-course dinner, followed by an evening of dancing in the splendid surroundings of Stanbrook Abbey.
Head of Sixth Form, Mark Evetts, said: “I shall remember the Class of 2022 for their willingness to contribute in every aspect of the life of the School, for their unstinting support for each other but, above all else, for their ambition to achieve their best in all that they undertook. Each and every one of them has risen to the challenge on so many occasions and in such a wide variety of areas that I cannot help but look at the Leavers’ photograph and smile with great pride.”
