Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure
to rise in this hon. House today to congratulate the
Grade 12 graduating class of Bayview Regional Collegiate
in St. Lunaire-Griquet. This past Friday, I had the
honour to attend the graduating ceremony at Bayview
Regional Collegiate and was very pleased to watch
thirteen students receive their graduation certificate.
These graduates are our future and I would commend them
for staying the course and achieving this wonderful
goal.The theme for the graduation was: The Key to
Happiness is Having Dreams. The Key to Success is Making
Your Dreams Come True. My wish for these graduates is
that they will be happy and successful in whatever path
they choose in the future.
Mr. Speaker, two of the graduates were from foreign
countries, one from Mexico and one from South Korea.
These students are participating in the English as a
Second Language program which provides international
students the wonderful opportunity to live in an English
speaking community while attending school. I am sure
that both students have enjoyed their unique experience
and I commend Bayview Regional Collegiate in providing
this opportunity.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join
with me in congratulating the Grade 12 graduating class
of Bayview Regional Collegiate and to wish them well as
they begin another journey in their lives.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
