The Sky Academy gave its Year 11 students a send-off to remember with two action-packed days of celebration, laughter, and heartfelt goodbyes. As the academic chapter closed, the school community came together to honour the students’ journey in true Sky Academy style.
The festivities kicked off with a vibrant barbecue, where the aroma of grilled favourites filled the air and students mingled with staff in a relaxed, joyful atmosphere.
The field was transformed into a playground of inflatable fun, featuring crowd-pleasers like the ‘Last Man Standing’ challenge and a surfing simulator that had everyone cheering.
One of the most talked-about highlights was the hilarious ‘Soak the SLT’ game, where students gleefully tossed bean bags to trigger buckets of water over brave senior leaders. It was a splash hit – literally!
The celebrations culminated in a heartfelt assembly, where staff delivered moving speeches filled with pride, memories, and well-wishes.
Emotions ran high as the entire school lined up to form a tunnel of applause, cheering the Year 11s on their final walk through the academy.
Adding a touch of flair and fun, one student made their entrance dressed as a dinosaur, while others left in style – one in a sleek Lamborghini and another in a beautifully restored classic car, turning heads and raising smiles.
Becky Lambert Vice Principal said: “The Sky Academy’s Year 11 leavers’ celebration was more than just a farewell – it was a joyful tribute to resilience, friendship, and the bright futures ahead.”
