The ceremony of the end of the second completed school year took place on Friday 28th June at Akademeia High School. We said goodbye to our first cohort of pupils who took their full A Levels.

To highlight this Mark Moore gave a speech quoting Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”, drawing attention to the paradox of parting, which is at the same time sweet and sour: “Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow.”

The audience gathered at the school auditorium could admire the students’ work and academic achievements. The ceremony, hosted by Julia Kałużna and Krystian Schneyder, began with two short films, including an interpretation of Charlie Chaplin’s speech from “The Great Dictator”, shot and produced by Akademeia High School students. Then we watched dramas played by Akademeia High School Drama Group and listened to selected pieces performed by Akademeia High School Music Band.
