Honestly, I’ve been putting this post off for a while… I think I’m in denial 😭💔

We would like to wish our 5 gorgeous leavers the biggest good luck as they begin their next chapters. Some have already started their new journeys, some are on their way as we speak, and some will be leaving us very soon 🥹

We are SO incredibly proud of each and every one of you. Watching you grow, develop and become the amazing young people you are today has been such a privilege. You have each brought something so special to SDA, and you will be missed more than you know 💜

We know you are all going to be incredible in whatever comes next. Believe in yourselves, grab every opportunity, keep doing what you love and never forget how far you’ve come ✨

Once an SDA dancer, always an SDA dancer. 💜

Good luck my superstars! We are so, so proud of you! 🥹🫶🏼

Today is Mr Toby’s LAST day at work before he heads off to BIRD 😭💜

Oh, Mr Toby… you are going to be missed by EVERYONE! There isn’t a single child in this school that you haven’t impacted, inspired or made smile 🥹

You have been such a huge part of SDA, and watching you grow from a student into such a brilliant role model has been so special. You have given so much of your time, energy and heart to our students, and I know they will never forget you.

We couldn’t be prouder of you and everything you are about to achieve.

Thank you for everything, Mr Toby 💜
