So, after three eventful years, I will no longer have to tell Darren to take his coat off, tell Chris Hickey to please sit down, try to stop Lawrence going to music, try to persuade Isha that I'm only a foot away from her and she doesn't need to shout, nor will I have to listen to any of Raschell's excuses for being late, or wonder who on earth Christina Juckiewicz actually is, and why she is on my register.

It has been an eventful three years, and the fact that I twice asked to remain your form teacher shows that I must have enjoyed them (I think). I've included some of the memories in the awards section of the yearbook, but her are my top ten memories of my three years with you.

1. Kris going down to see Mr Judge wearing Lawrence's trousers (and Lawrence following with no trousers, but wearing Darren's shoes.)

2. Lawrence attempting to eat a McDonalds McMuffin breakfast (complete with syrup) during registration.

3. The whole class going to Mr Chichon to protest about a misrepresentation of a bullying incident in the local paper.

4. Raschell's ability to move her head from side to side during an argument, completely independent of her body.

5. Isha.

6. Kyri's complete inability to complete a sentence without including any swearwords.

7. Virginia trying to persuade me that, contrary to all nasal evidence, the reason she was late was not because she was having a cigarette on the way to form.

8. Danielle's earrings. Do they pick up satellite TV?

9. Those one-to-one tutoring sessions. Very interesting...

10. Oh, and all the information about last year's Year 11. Very...er...instructive.

In only remains for me to wish you well in your future careers, and hope that at least some of you don't end up as your classmates have predicted.

All the best

Mr Pitt
