Five-Year Dinner

In the midst of closing week at Shawnigan, we take an evening out to honour those graduates who have been with us from grade 8 through to grade 12. The five-year dinner was hosted by Lynn Robertson who did wonderful job of creating a special evening for this group of students. Lynn Rolston, our archivist, put together a slide show of photos of the grads in their grade eight year at the School that excited much laughter and a few tears! After dinner, each graduate was then celebrated by a teacher, House Director, or advisor who told us why his or her student was unique and with what qualities that student had imbued his or her career at Shawnigan. It takes time to talk about each student, but because they have been together at Shawnigan for so long, the five-year students enjoyed the comments and appreciated the sentiments that could be shared in this small gathering.
