At one point earlier in the school year, the High School was not sure that seniors would be able to have a graduation on campus due to Covid-19 restrictions. And, once international schools could return to campus in the spring, the High School community collectively crossed their fingers in the hopes that school would remain in session and that graduation with all its rituals and celebrations could happen.

Much to everyone’s relief, and with the exception of Prom, they did! Not only that, but in addition to the Baccalaureate Service, Senior Clap Out, Senior Breakfast and the Commencement Ceremony itself, a new event was added to the week: In true Hong Kong style, a High Tea was hosted on campus, with room 504 converted into an elegant and whimsical setting, complete with roses and fairy lights. Seniors received their yearbooks, and stayed late into the afternoon signing each others’ books and spending time, on campus, together.
