The School held a celebratory evening on Wednesday 29 June 2016 to mark the completion of study by our Upper Sixth/Year 13 boys. The boys and their families enjoyed House farewells, drinks and canapés in the Medburn Centre, followed by speeches and prize-giving in the Bourne Hall.
After a formal procession into the Hall, the Second Master, Mr MLS Judd, addressed the audience; expressing warm wishes and congratulating the boys, as well as acknowledging the contributions of their supportive families and teachers.
The guest speaker, barrister and writer, Mr Jeremy Brier (OH 1998), offered wise words to the boys, using humility as his theme, drawing from his own experiences – a brilliant, humorous and motivational speech. 2016 School Captain Will Withyman offered the vote of thanks and spoke eloquently about the journey he had embarked on whilst at Habs – another thoroughly uplifting speech.
Mr Roger Llewellyn (OH 1983), Director of the Foundation, provided the final farewell to all. He explained what it meant to be an Old Haberdasher and reminded all of the importance of philanthropy in the history of the School, while exhorting all to keep in touch.
Prizes were awarded to the Upper Sixth by the Second Master and following the ceremony the boys continued celebrating their successes and achievements with family, friends and teachers. It was a delightfully Haberdashers’ evening; a wonderful occasion!
