A foot and light-hearted I take to the open road,

Healthy, free, the world before me,

The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.

- Song of the Open Road, Walt Whitman

VALEDICTORIAN SPEECH

Even as we prepare to leave, let us not forget the values that have been instilled in us during our time in Dulwich. Be kind, treating others with respect and dignity. Be open-minded, embracing diversity and celebrating the unique perspectives that each individual brings. Be lifelong learners, always seeking knowledge, and pursuing personal and intellectual growth. 

Our education has equipped us with the ability to make a difference, and it is our responsibility to use that power wisely. Let us be the change we wish to see in the world, making positive contributions and leaving a lasting legacy.

——Viola W

Over the past few years, Dulwich has provided us with a safe, comfortable haven, a home away from home for some, and has created an environment for us to blossom into skilled and ambitious, young adults. I am grateful to have met you and learned from you. I am proud to see how much you’ve grown, and I am excited to see where you go next.

——Seth P
