05.01.2022 Congratulations to our Year 12 students who graduated today. You made it!! Paris, in her valedictory speech, summed it up very well It has come to the time where I say my final words, but, before I do never let go of the memories we've created throughout this chapter of our lives. Our school journey let alone our Year 12 journey has been challenging to say the least, but we've made it. I know we will leave this ceremony being independent, but we will always be bonded through... this adventure and knowing that we grew side by side one another. I couldn't be more confident in you all and I know that any conflict we're confronted with will be dealt with confidence, dedication and power. I said it last year and I'll say it again, we are a cohort that is destined to leave a legacy for Browns Plains State High School, and I know that after this year we could never be forgotten.
