Dear Niwatey,

Thank you for being one of the most inspirational student leaders I have come across. Your act of selfless generosity, loving kindness, and wholesome desire has taught me the fruits of what makes an ideal student leader. I am thankful that despite my short time here at Pal, I was able to work with you to inspire, motivate, and awaken our Pals community. Through up and downs, thick and thin, we have had to endure the struggles together. Like an older sister, you were always there for me when I needed help during my leadership year. Truely, thank you Niwatey.

May your next step in your journey take you to wondrous places and allow you to fully reach your potential as a young leader. Despite the fact that you are ‘Graduating’ from Pal, we all know, that once a pal always a pal! Stay safe and may your journey be one full of merit!🙏🥳

Dearest Niwatey,

From the moment I had arrived at PBS to now, you have helped me so much more than you know. You showed me how to be strong, as a leader, you built in me resilience and your words of encouragement and wisdom has shaped my journey at pal for the past year. Your compassion and care for the students you lead are unbeknownst to me in any other school. I truly have never met someone as young as yourself who harnesses so many leadership skills comparable to those of many experienced adults. It is certain, that no matter where you go in the future, your quality of a leader will shine and your loving kindness to all will result in much benefit for the world. You are an exemplar model of a true Blazing Phoenix. 🌎

Thank you for having my back during my times of struggle and teaching me through your words and your actions. Thank you for growing the pal community and all those students have have likewise been benefitted by your wisdom. I am forever grateful for having you as a friend and a leader.

May you accomplish all your goals and dreams. Treat your graduation from highschool as a welcome into the real world, where problems aren’t just tricky maths or science questions. But I’m sure you are looking forward to that anyway. 😄

Just as a Pals journey never ends at PBS, feel free to always come back and meet the teachers or students again. We will welcome you with open arms. Until then, farewell my good friend! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🧡

As your self-proclaimed (by you) Pal Dad, I am proud of you, so very proud.

Stop and think about what you have achieved not what you didn't. Let home country, made new friends, pushed yourself to excel in another language, drove yourself and others to be better, loved Shakespeare from the get-go, managed some astronomical stress, learned where 'S's go in verb-subject agreement, survived Ms. Ratzer's withering glares and performed puppetry.

And you are a good-hearted and impressive young woman I would be honoured to have as a real daughter.

May the shadows be ever at your back.

You were an amazing, kind and selfless Pal.
I'm sure that the whole of Pal including me will miss you very much.

Dear Niwatey,
It's time to say farewell
But only time will tell
Till we see you next time
After November 29
When your last exam will end
Like an hourglass out of sand
Until then you'll need courage
To persevere despite your age
To commit, to dedicate, to strive
It's the only way to stay alive
Until your next challenge appears
Which will supersede present fears
Just remember what you've learned
All the skills you have earned
Which will equip you with the will to fight
Make hard choices and know they're right
Because in the end no matter the strife
You are the master of your own life.

# data[].attributes.headline
Niwatey, it's been a joy and a privilege to watch you grow and blossom. May every blessing and good thing follow you all the days of your life. Love always,

Dear Niwatey

I remember when you were a fresh-faced year 10 student just arrived in my 10 STEAM class and already plotting your world domination!  Since that time you have strode ever further in your abilities and drive to achieve so much in such a short period of time.

I am confident that the future is very bright for you. Keep challenging yourself to improve constantly and develop your considerable skills and talent.  You will go far.

Don't forget your past and remember your school days at Pal kindly.

All the best
Mr. Neubronner

honestly, where has the time gone? you have been there with me during my time at pal. Now it’s your time to say bye. When I didn’t feel right you were always there to sit down and talk, you made me feel loved, appreciated and somebody. I always appreciate your presence when you walk by, or during SRC meetings. I’m so saddened that I won’t be able to say hi to you as I walk pass you, or listen to you talk during SRC. I am upset by the fact that when something happens at school I’m unable to talk to you straightaway. You have made a massive impact on the school and me. You are so appreciated and loved, I hope that your journey and the new few steps you take aren’t bad ones,  I wish for success and good health to you, and hope that we can talk again soon. Ily watey, I will miss you more than you can imagine <3

ily,

Dear Niwatey,

From the first time you came to Pal, I've always thought that you were really awesome. Like the house that you represent, Blazing Phoenixes, you show kindness to everyone. You also strive to help others, and to bring yourself and the people around you to success. You're full of determination and perseverance. You're one of the greatest role models of our school, and I've always looked up to you. Your speeches and actions inspire others to walk along your path. I hope your future is bright and you continue to follow your dreams ! 😊😊😊

I owe you so much thanks for the past years. For a great class mate and considerable state of a good friend. Thank you, best of luck the future.

Dear Watey,

There's that part of me that still denies the fact that I am not going to come in every morning at an absurdly early time and find you hunched over some sort of work and then hear about how you don't get enough sleep and that is why you said sixteen squared is thirty two. But, nonetheless, the part of me that learnt from you knows better.

In all sincerity, you've been my best friend for the greater part of three years. You've helped me work through the times where I've felt my lowest and have definitely brought me back to Earth when I've felt my highest. You've done an insurmountable amount of help to not only me but the people all over the Pal community. In truthfulness, there's probably nothing that I can do that will pay back the time and patience you've given me.

The best I can do is follow in the footsteps you've laid for me in hopes that I live up to the standard you have set. I don't know what the future has set out for you, but I'm sure that whatever you do, you'll make it a brighter place.

I'm going to miss you, my best friend.

Love,
Anael (Mulleteer 1)

P.S.
And if you do move out of the country.... please go to a place where the conversion rate is reasonable, I still owe you upwards of a million dollars.

Dear Niwatey,

Finally! You have finally made it!

Firstly, thank you for being such an inspiring leader! You have been such a great role model and friend who has helped me through my journey of high school and I am grateful.

Even though you are saying goodbye, the memories will not. Especially those that relate to the SRC or even the History Extension class, they are surely the fun moments that will live on.

I wish you the very best in whatever the future may hold for you.

You’ve always been a beam of joy to be around. What I value most about you is your ability to take up any challenge it may be. Such as studies, leadership roles and being interviewed for the Sydney morning herald! You’ve always been there for students and teachers. The constant strive and eagerness to learn will await a bright and wonderful future for you.

Finally best wishes on HSC and Uni life. I hope one day we can gather up in the future with all the years 12s and talk about our days in high school. It’s certainly been wonderful and this is only the beginning!

You are able to make others inspire to be like you through pure perseverance. You've bloomed into a better and stronger person ever since the start of your journey at Pal.
