Dear graduates. Congratulations on reaching this important milestone. The Class of 2025 has shown remarkable resilience, creativity and care through years filled with both challenges and growth.
You’ve earned more than a diploma; you’ve built a foundation. Along the way, you’ve learned not just from textbooks and tests, but from the moments that often go unnoticed: solving problems with your peers, speaking up when it mattered, or offering kindness when someone needed it most.
These everyday experiences have shaped your character and strengthened your voice. In a world that’s constantly changing, those qualities matter deeply.
As you take your next steps, whether toward work, more learning or something still unfolding, know that you carry with you the values that define a strong and thoughtful community: curiosity, compassion, courage and integrity.
The path ahead won’t always be clear, but you are ready for it. And more importantly, the world needs what you bring. I am proud of you, and excited for what comes next. Warmest congratulations!
The Peak will publish its annual graduation special section on June 26, 2025.
Last year, Meta censored Canadian news from its feeds, so we built our own social platform: syrupsocial.com – a newsfeed powered by Canadian journalists. Join the Peak on Syrup for the latest news from the Sunshine Coast and beyond, and add the Peak's email list for the top headlines right in your inbox Monday to Friday.
