 Emma VULIN (Pakenham) (12:54): As the proud parent of a year 12 graduate, I want to acknowledge our teachers and schools for their commitment to ensuring that every student achieves their best. I also want to recognise families and friends for their support throughout this important year; we all knew that it would be a tough one. But most of all, congratulations to our year 12 graduates. It is your time to shine. I know everyone says this, but it is true: your results do not define you. There are many paths to a chosen career, and sometimes you might find something different along the way, which can be exciting. To my dearest daughter Sienna, you worked so hard to achieve your best this year, and I know that you will succeed at whatever you do and whatever life brings you. Be proud, be safe and be fabulous. I love you.
