Grade 12 is the end of your journey and it will be bittersweet. You’ll be excited for life after graduation but it’s also a year of reflection on how far you’ve come and the close friends you’ve made. That’s not to say that the preparation is over.

You’ll be applying to universities and making important decisions about your future. It all means that by the end of Grade 12, you’ll be ready for university and life beyond SMUS.
