Yesterday was a day of celebration as William Morton Collegiate (WMCI) in Gladstone held their 2018 graduation ceremony.
A total of 34 grads and over 30 different awards, bursaries and scholarships were handed out.
Valedictorian Azaria Neuschwander has some hopes for her fellow grads.
"I wish that every one of my classmates, when they go to whatever they're doing, whether they're working or going to school, that they find happiness in life, and work hard for what they want," says Neuschwander.
Neuschwander was the recipient of many awards including the Governor-General medal.
Superintendent of the Pine Creek School Division Bruce Lyons made a speech during the ceremony and gave words of widsom, as well as an inspiring quote by rocker Henry Rollins.
"No such thing as spare time, no such thing as free time, no such thing as down time, all you got is life time, go," Lyons says.
