St Mary's Assyrian Language School - Graduation Ceremony

On 17 December, representatives of The Young Assyrians were honoured to join St Mary’s Assyrian Language School in celebrating the graduation ceremony of the Class of 2025. The evening was a proud and meaningful occasion, bringing together students, families, teachers, and community members to recognise the achievements of a dedicated group of young Assyrians.

The Young Assyrians commend and acknowledge the vital work of the School in preserving and promoting our language, heritage, and cultural identity. Institutions such as St. Mary’s Assyrian Language School play a crucial role in ensuring that the Assyrian language is passed down to future generations, thereby strengthening both community ties and cultural continuity.

We warmly congratulate the graduates on their dedication, perseverance, and hard work throughout their studies. Their commitment to learning and embracing their heritage is a testament to their character and to the support of their families and educators. We wish the Class of 2025 every success in their future endeavours and encourage them to continue being proud ambassadors of our language and culture.
