Here's the text of my farewell's valedictory speech. You can modify it with regard too whatever class or batch your seniors are in or with regard to the events which take place in your school.

A very good morning/ afternoon to one and all present here,

Today, as I stand before you all, I feel honoured and sad at the same time, honoured because I have the opportunity to deliver this valedictory speech, sad because it’s me who has to do the tough job of wishing goodbye to all of you.

I will not go into vivid details to describe how amazing seniors you have been. Class 9 and 10 have shared an inexplicable bond. We couldn’t have been more comfortable with our seniors, and you couldn’t have had better juniors, obviously.

Being a member of the cabinet, I have been privileged enough, to interact quite frequently with our seniors. We all have learnt a lot from you, and many of you have inspired us in different ways. Never did we ever feel bullied in your presence, rather, we felt like one integrated family together.

Well, if I come down to the memories I cherish, we share loads of them. Right from all the activities that both the classes have been a part of ever since we were in school, all the festivals that have been celebrated in school, the investitures ceremonies, last years and this, the thanksgiving days and the house meetings.

However, it is the universal truth we all have to face, whether we want to or not, everything eventually ends. As much as I've looked forward to this day, I've always disliked endings. But endings are inevitable. Leaves fall. You close a book. You say goodbye. Today is one of those days for you all. You all are so much a part of us that you'll be with us no matter what, our North Star. And the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us, always.

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, and to fall, because most of the times the greatest reward comes from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you’ll get more than you’ve ever imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, every step of the journey is a destination, in itself.

At this watershed moment of your lives, my friends of class 10, I am reminded of the great words by Rabindranath Tagore, ‘where the mind is without fear, and the head is held high’. I wish for you a mental cosmos where you are confident individuals, not scared to do the most uphill tasks. Where you are not confined to the four walls of fear, but break the shackles and become real performers, real doers. The attitude with which you leave will be the cornerstone of what you become tomorrow. As we stand here on this beautiful day, my friends we wish for you all, attitudes of real performers who dive into turbulent waters with a crazy stubbornness to swim through and survive the fiercest of storms.

May your journey be that of valour. Tomorrow when we stand there to become a part of your world, we would look for those familiar faces, who would draw their hands out and share their experiences with us.

May you find the mountain that is right for you. Give and receive support along the way, be patient and persevere through the ups and downs that you will face. And importantly learn to enjoy the journey you are about to embark upon.

Always remember where you’re going, but never forget where you came from.

We will miss you.

All the very best! Goodbye.

Oh jaane waale, ho sake toh laut kar aana!
