Headmaster Graham Cole welcomed everyone by saying, “We gather as a school family today to congratulate these young people, to salute those who have excelled in the different realms of our activities, to thank those who have made this achievement possible and to bid our good-byes to those who soon take their leave of our community.”
Following his remarks, Head Prefect Mike Curran ’09 gave the salutatory address, prizes were presented to faculty and students, Josh Zalinger ’09 gave the outstanding scholar address, and Headmaster Cole and Chairman of the Westminster Board of Trustees John Armour ’76 presented diplomas to the graduates.
