Philippe Paquin-Piché, outgoing SLCSA president, represented the 2018 graduating class and gave a very moving and touching graduation closing speech:
“Thank you fellow students for making St. Lawrence the wonderful place it has been over the past few years. You all have contributed in the making of St. Lawrence as the incredible college that it is, and I believe it is for that reason exactly that I have yet to meet someone who didn’t enjoy their experience at our school. Through its small communities, St. Lawrence allowed us to have unprecedented opportunities to work in close quarters with teachers, staff and fellow classmates.”
The St. Lawrence community wishes our graduates all the best in their future endeavours.
