Graduation - the start of a new beginning

It has been a well-spent 4 years in Cedar - a place we know we can always call 'home'. We've grown to be like the Cedar Tree - sturdy, strong and never easily uprooted. This journey has nurtured us into confident individuals who possess much more substance today as compared to the uncertain figures who walked through her gates for the first time many yesterdays ago. Self-discipline is one of the main values that Cedar has inculcated in us through our respective co-curricular activities (CCAs). Through them, we have learnt that there is indeed no 'I'in 'TEAM'. Bonds were forged through long hours of drills and by ever-blazing campfires. These friendships are the ones that can last us a lifetime. And though short these four years may be, they have, no doubt, played a crucial role in moulding a difference - us. Being able to bring back trophies after participating in competitions is certainly something that can make us feel immensely proud of; and this is especially so because they were won in the name of Cedar. However, at times, when we return home empty-headed, tears of disappointment are shed because we are aware that we have not just disappointed ourselves, but also the school that we represent. But we learn best through failures and at the end of the day, most of us still emerge as champions - champions for being able to pick ourselves up after every fall. Hence, we know that we would leave Cedar with our heads held high. Up till this day, we still remain most amazed by the spirit of the Cedarian population. It is the essence of Cedar and will always be the thing that we are remembered and known for. We are truly proud to be able to claim that we are Cedarians and are glad for the chance to be able to don this blue and grey uniform with pride and respect for the school. Even if time rewound and choices were allowed to be remade, the one choice that will remain as a constant will be our option to be a part of Cedar Girls' School. And even as our final days in this remarkable institution of excellence draw to a close, we will not despair for the fact that we were once Cedarians and will always be.
