because 2020 has been a year of constant unknowns. Thrown into their homes, they took to their screens to learn and socialise, and found isolation incredibly difficult. They lost the social infrastructure of the school day. They had to learn how to proactively ring their friends in an age of “the best time to call is text”.The rituals of year 12 graduation will be different this year, but schools will find ways to mark it so students can cry and giggle and know they are now adults.
There is one other memory I have of my year 12 graduation. Standing outside the school gates hugging my best friend Melissa as well as others. There was no ritual or formal rite in that moment, and I have hugged some of those girls many many more times in the past 18 years. Because high school, and its ending, is about the friendships you made, the friendships that will fade, and the ones that will keep for decades.

Victoria records another decline in coronavirus cases, and 12 deathsVictoria records 216 new coronavirus cases and 12 further deaths, the state's health department has announced. It is the lowest number of new cases in more than five weeks. Nothing about hotel quarantine enquiry? Good to see leftist propaganda at work. But continue to concentrate on NSW failures, as it is not a labour government. lol 1) mortality is lagging cases by around 19 days - so we appear to be past the peak of both. 2) Reff now 0.92 (based on 7 day average) 3) Consecutive weekly falls of 30% new cases. Inflated numbers, don't know anyone who has corona, friends or relatives don't know anyone who has it.. Fake numbers fake cases.
