Year 12: The Final Frontier
Who would have thought
We've come along way from when started primary school. You know what it was like... gay just meant fun!
Then we started our pubescent years at secondary school where our French had improved, well it must of, cos the teacher kept telling us to 'mind it'. The energy, the detentions, the love letters, and the big kids, all contributed to our growing knowledge and understanding.
I will survive
It was the year when everybody started to get their licence except for the odd few girl guides (Laura, Robbo and the rest). By about August most of the town only emerged from their houses early Sunday morning. Mrs Pobjoy was not sighted until exams after a year 12 lunatic (Bec) whipped the arse end of the Pobjoy mobile out because she believed that waving to her friends was more important than watching the road. Carl somehow received a canary with a car he didn't own and wasn't driving.
You will learn
Hey, and don't forget for a moment all the stuff that went on during the day. We moved from cage to quad, and back home again. Freezing mornings in English, sweltering afternoons in maths. The gossip, the valuable time spent in free periods occupying Miss Davis! Hairstyles, piercing and all the rest...

Not a bad effort, especially since he set all the "rather impolite" replies to be sent to Miss Tate and Bowlesy!
That's just not legal
Only this year have our Saturday nights become legal. Some(Megs) found themselves lying in a hospital bed after consuming just a tad too much. In the lockup or in the bushes with a bike on the head. It all happened.
Alcohol certainly did have many effects apart from being drunk. Getting to know cops, shaved heads, fights, injured animals, being kicked out of home and most of all having fun.
Whatever
Finally I will end on a serious note a say good luck to everyone doing/going to do further studies, finding a job and the people who are doing nothing.
Salute to the rest of the school.
