A sense of finality, hopeful about the future and sentimentally reflecting on the past five years, warmed the heart of each Matriculant. Our guest speaker was Andrew Tucker, a past pupil from SACS, who was the top Matriculant in the country in 2015. His inspirational words of encouragement resonated with all our pupils.
