Captains’ Corner | Vice Captain, Zach Boland

My Terrace journey began seven years ago in Year 6, on a rainy day. Seven years later, it is coming to an end in blistering heat. On Tuesday this week, with the rest of the Year 12 cohort, I officially had my last day of school. For me, this brought mixed emotions. I felt a sense of excitement, as it marked the beginning of a new, largely unknown chapter. This was mixed with a feeling that was also quite a sombre occasion. Many Seniors began to realise that it was the final time that we would share morning tea and be laughing and joking with each other in and out of the classroom.

Many boys have realised that Terrace has become their second home throughout the years that they have been here. Everyone kept referring to the ‘Terrace Family’ that they have been a part of and it is becoming difficult to say goodbye. We thought about the fact that the GPS Track and Field Championships marked the last time that we would be able to cheer in the red and the black and the last time that we will be able to represent the College in a sporting sense.

All the memories and experiences shared at Terrace will never be forgotten, but everything must come to an end. It is almost time to hand over the reins to the Seniors of 2019, and I wish them the best of luck.

Thank you to all of the teachers and staff for making the Terrace journey such a great one. Thank you to all of the other students who have shared the Terrace journey, making it an experience that will be fondly remembered. Thank you to my parents for their support and for sending me to such a great school.

Remember to enjoy your time at Terrace because before you know it, it will come to an end. Shoulder to Shoulder.
