2026 Y4 Graduation Ceremony

Coming together from across 117 primary schools, the Class of 2026 first stepped into RGS at our Braddell Campus in 2023. Four years later, they move on with friendships forged, memories shared and a sisterhood that will stay with them, as they look ahead to the next chapter of their journey at RI.

Today’s Graduation Assembly marked a special milestone for our Year 4s, as the school community gathered to witness their graduation and bid them farewell at their final assembly as RGS students. In her address, our Principal, Mrs Ong, shared the poem “Don’t Hesitate” by Mary Oliver, encouraging the girls to embrace moments of happiness: “If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it.” She reminded the cohort that joy is not something to be put off until everything else is done, but something they deserve to welcome and experience along the way.

To the Class of 2026, as you leave RGS, may the strong wings you have grown carry you towards new horizons, while the roots nurtured here continue to keep you grounded. Wherever life takes you, may you keep growing into the best version of yourselves, always remembering to use your strengths and talents in service of others, embodying what it means to be The Best Me for Us.

And as your cohort song reminds you, “Let your dreams take flight”!
