I have had the pleasure of working on a number of initiatives in education and youth development - from youth employment, the development of our youth policy, the opening of a true technical secondary school, even the launch of our illustrious Territorial song and wear. But graduands, there is one item that keeps evading me but I will work diligently to realise this before my second term in office ends - how can we get this graduation to last just 90 minutes.

Primary school may have been easy for some of you. High school, however, can be daunting; you will learn new subjects, and experience new and different challenges. Whatever your experiences, keep your focus and always remember the values and principles instilled in you by your parents and reinforced by your teachers. Begin to set serious goals for your life and remember that those goals will not always come easy. You will have to work hard, be determined and I assure you, success will find you.
It gives me great pleasure to congratulate the members of the Elmore Stoutt High School Class of 2015. Indeed you all have come a long way, and with your families, friends and teachers, today our entire Territory celebrates with you, this significant accomplishment along your educational journey.
