Congratulations to the Class of 2024

Dear Parents and friends

“I came here three years ago in 2021, knowing about three languages, and Mandarin was not one of them. So, I struggled a lot communicating with the locals, but I believe I’ve gotten better now that I’m leaving. As I said before, I was a trilingual student, and today, I’m graduating with proficiency in five languages. I believe that Hanova has taught me to be confident in myself in order to keep improving and trying new things.”

This is Liyana from the class of 2024 speaking in her graduation speech last Friday, May 24th, during the commencement ceremony. Six graduates spoke from their hearts, expressing gratitude to their teachers, parents, peers, and to Hanova. Their speeches were a testimony to the education they received here at Hanova, which cultivates them to be outstanding learners with wisdom and socially responsible global citizens.

The graduation party followed in the school balcony in the evening. We celebrated the success of the class of 2024 with an abundance of joy, waves of laughter, and beautiful music performed by our MYP and DP students. Families of the graduates and school faculty gathered together to send off the graduates with our best wishes and our love in heart.

We are incredibly proud of the hard work that the class of 2024 put forth leading up to this milestone, but credit must also be given to our exceptional teachers and supportive parents who have played an significant role in their success.

Thank you for making us proud, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors, class of 2024!
