The ceremony, held to mark the school’s 40th anniversary, honoured the 38 students of the 29th National Baccalaureate cohort and the 15th International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme cohort. The event, hosted by Matilde Corredera, was presided over by Alberto Rodríguez, president of the Arenas, Arenas Atlántico and Arenas Internacional schools, alongside the headmaster of Arenas Internacional School, Jaime Rodríguez, and its academic director, José Paz Botana.
Yésica Pérez Miranda – a parent, former pupil of the school and a member of the first COU cohort – highlighted the school’s history and the bond between generations, emphasising the hard work and sense of belonging within the educational community.
Speaking on behalf of their year groups at the ceremony were students Naiara Montero Abramovich and Nahuel Santiago Canata. Their moving speeches were interspersed with music performed by the San Ginés Polyphonic Choir and the screening of a touching video that traced the students’ journey through their years at the school.
Alberto Rodríguez brought the event to a close, putting the finishing touch to a ceremony that symbolises the end of one chapter and the start of new challenges for the graduates.
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a drinks reception at the hotel, bringing an emotional evening to a close.
