Celebrating a Remarkable Milestone: Awards and Graduations at ESK

As the final week of the academic year came to a close, it felt like time had flown by, leaving us with countless memories to cherish. The atmosphere was electric as we celebrated our outstanding students during the Awards Ceremonies and Star of the Year Assemblies held for each year group. It was a heartfelt occasion to honour the achievements of our exceptional young people—particularly touching was the celebration of the Year 6 students who finished Primary school, and the Year 9 students completing their middle school journey.

One standout event was the graduation ceremony for the Class of 2025. This emotional milestone allowed us to reflect on their amazing journey from their first steps in Nursery all the way to Year 13. We took a moment to recognize students who have shown remarkable effort and success in various subjects, making it a truly memorable occasion.

The Ceremony began with an emotional yet inspiring speech from Head Boy, Matthew and Head Girl, Anna, followed by two quest speakers, Professor Dorothy Griffiths OBE, and ESK Alumni (Class od 2014) Turgut Deniz.

In keeping with our tradition, we presented several special awards to highlight the diverse talents and achievements within our community. The Principal's Award celebrated an all-round exceptional student whose contributions extended beyond academics into extra-curricular activities and overall school life. The Headmaster’s Award honoured a student who made significant improvements throughout their time at ESK, showcasing their commitment to growth and learning. Among our many deserving students, Alisiia stood out for her remarkable academic achievements, earning the award for the highest GPA.

This year, we also introduced a new award in honour of our late Co-founder, the Fehim Nevzat Award. This award recognized a student who consistently exemplified remarkable character during their time at ESK, and truly embodies ESK’s core values. It was a poignant reminder of the legacy our co-founder has left behind, inspiring us all to strive for excellence.

 As we bid farewell to our graduates, we are filled with pride and excitement for what lies ahead. We wish them the very best of luck as they embark on their next chapter at universities worldwide.

As we close this school year, we are left with a heart full of joy and gratitude for the vibrant community we have cultivated here at ESK. Happy and proud—here’s to another successful year and to the bright futures of all our students!
