Years 11 – 13 Speech Day 2026

article Our Spotlight Riverside Senior SHR Article

Years 11–13 Speech Day was a meaningful moment to recognise the achievements and journeys of our students.

Mr Rob Millar’s speech, reflected on learning as a process shaped by curiosity, discovery, and the ability to see the world differently, likening it to the making of a pencil, where knowledge is refined over time, and to the building of ships, where progress begins with asking questions.

We recognised not only their accomplishments, but also the many ways they have grown to understand the world and themselves.

The ceremony included the presentation of awards across Academic Excellence, Form Prizes, Year Group Awards, Leadership and Service, IAYP Gold, Performance, and House Awards, alongside the Simon Taylor Award.

We were also honoured to welcome our guest speaker, Dr Suchana Chavanich, Professor of Marine Science at Chulalongkorn University, who shared her inspiring journey and reflections with our students.
