You're looking out over a sea of faces in your audience - proud mums, dads, grandparents,

family and friends - and indeed they have every right to be proud

There is something special about a kindergarten graduation ceremony - innocence retained,

journeys begun and dreams waiting to be achieved

I am very aware that today is about the children and as such, my speech is largely aimed at
the special young people sitting on stage today. Don't they look fantastic?

Today, as we pay tribute to the young ladies and gentlemen of tomorrow, we know that they
have started their remarkable journey towards achieving this goal.

Our thanks and appreciation to all the teachers and the parents for the fantastic role that
you have all played to facilitate this process.

Now, girls and boys...I need to tell you how very proud we are of you today.

Well done and congratulations to each and everyone of you - you can feel very proud of all
you have done this year.

Our young children will move into a new year - a year with new challenges to deal with

"Work hard and play straight" and may you stay...in your spirit and soul...

Forever young!

There's something about the culture and the beautiful landscape that always
leaves us wanting more.
It's hard to describe how Hawaii makes you feel. You can get lost in the
natural beauty of the place, even in developed areas like Waikiki, but it's
something more. Hawaii's vibe instantly calms the mind.
More than just a word, Aloha is a state of mind. It's living your life with love
and friendship, peace and compassion.
The Hawaiian people have this in spades, they embody the Aloha spirit, and
you can feel that love and warmth when you're there. They love their islands,
connecting with the land and respecting their traditions. And they appreciate
the same from you.
From shopkeepers to surfers, you'll always find a welcoming smile.
