Five farewell messages for students from teacher: When the students are graduating

 

01To my graduating class of [Year], I’d like to say congratulations. At the same time, this is a farewell.
 
A farewell is never easy, and it sounds so sad to say. For the past few days, I have thought a lot about all my students.
 
Every day, I have felt a mix of emotions, starting with an overwhelming sense of deep sadness, but it ends now with gratitude and hope. The sadness comes from the fact that I may never see some of you again.
 
Only the memories of the times we’ve shared has made me feel better. For that, I am very thankful.
 
I will always cherish these memories. I am also left feeling hopeful about each one of you. You’ll be just fine, and I know that.
 
Good luck, and goodbye to all of you!

02Good evening to all, Today is your final day as students of this school, and no doubt, it’s a very special occasion.
 
As I say goodbye to you all, I urge you to be kind to one another and to the new people that are surely going to come your way.
 
I ask that you love and care for the people you have in your lives and that you welcome new people into your lives openly.
 
Why am I saying this? It’s partly because it is better to be a kinder, loving person in this sadly unforgiving world.
 
The world outside of these walls can be rosy, but it’s not always the case.
 
We all need each other. You never know who you’ll need and when, so it’s worth being a good person. It’s important to understand people and be nice to all of the people you’ll meet.
 
To wrap up, I’d like to say goodbye and thank you!

03I have been a teacher for more than a decade. In all of my years, I have not met a group of students as memorable as you all.
 
From the first day I walked through this school’s front doors, a spark lit up in me that has never gone out. I pray that it never goes out.
 
As a class, you have moved me, angered me, and pushed me to my limits. However, you have taught me lessons that I’ll remember forever.
 
I appreciate you all for that. As you leave this school, I just want to thank you for being amazing students, putting in the necessary effort, studying, and giving your best while at it.
 
I wish you all the best!

 

04To each and every one of you, go onwards and Godspeed. That’s the best I can say to you right now because the perfect words for this moment are not easy to come by.
 
As you all will soon graduate, I just want you all to understand one major aspect of life that most people neglect to think about. That aspect of life is disappointment.
 
Here’s one good example of what I mean about disappointment; not all of your academic plans will go as planned. That can be disappointing to hear, but that is the way life works.
 
I want you to be ready for when that happens and to be as flexible as possible. The most successful people are those who can adapt when their plans go off the rails.
 
Good luck to all of you!

05They say that every teacher’s dream is to one day see his/her students graduate and go on to achieve great things in life.
 
I have been a teacher for many years, and every time my class graduates, I feel like that dream comes true just a little.
 
I am feeling that way right now, as I watch you young men and women receive this honor today.
 
I feel like the proudest teacher in the world. I know that we won’t be seeing much of each other soon, so I’ll take this opportunity to say goodbye.
 
Just so you know, I believe in each and every one of you. You all are going to achieve great things, and you all are going to change the world in some way.
 
Good luck.

Three farewell messages for students from teacher: When the academic year comes to an end

 

06Dear students, as this academic year comes to a close, I’d like to formally say goodbye to everyone.
 
Thank you for a marvelous year. Save for some unexpected developments, we’ve had a great run as a class. I hope that we get even better next year.
 
As you take your break, I hope you all reflect on the mistakes and shortcomings that we’ve had this year. The aim is to become better individuals and better students for next year.
 
I want you to remember that no one is perfect, but all of us can improve if we are willing to put in the hard work.
 
Have an amazing break.

07Good morning. Along with the rest of the school staff, I am happy to announce that the end of this school term and academic year has arrived.
 
I wish to emphasize that I have enjoyed having each and every one of you as a student this year, and I am looking forward to seeing each one of you next year.
 
Now, as we part today, I would like to give you one piece of advice.
 
I’d like you all to cherish your parents while you’re on break and spending more time with them. It’s very important that you respect your parents.
 
I know they may not always please you, but you should all remember that your parents want only what is best for you.
 
In the meantime, I, along with the rest of the school staff, will be waiting for your return next year.

 

 

08I want to take this opportunity to close the academic year of [Year] and bid you all farewell until next year.
 
I also want to say thank you for the contribution that you all have made to the wellbeing of your classmates, individually and as a group.
 
To every student whose year hasn’t gone as he/she planned, maybe because of poor grades, poor health, or damaged friendships, this is not the end of the road for you.
 
You can work your way up to having a great year when the school opens next year, and your teachers will be there to help you.
 
No one gets to the top in one quick swift. So, farewell to all of you. I’d like to ask that you please make good use of the holiday by keeping up on your studies and academic skills.
 
See you all next year.

Three farewell messages for students from teacher: When the teacher is leaving

 

09I am standing here today to formally say goodbye, as I will be leaving the school very soon.
 
It’s not all sad for me because I have enjoyed my run as your teacher, and I hope the students at my next school will be just as wonderful as you’ve all been to me.
 
I have learned a lot from being your teacher for all of these years, and I consider that a wonderful gift to take with me.
 
I acknowledge that it wasn’t always easy or smooth, so I’d like to apologize to anyone whom I may have offended or hurt over the years as your teacher.
 
I hope it’s a mutual feeling that we had a great time together.
 
So, goodbye to all of you, and I pray that you all have a great future going forward.

10Good evening.
 
As you might have heard, I am leaving today to join a new school in Chicago. It’s a heavy day for me because St Paul’s has been a wonderful school ever since I joined it.
 
Before I go, I want to say two things to the students.
 
One is a request: I’d like to ask that you all continue to believe in yourselves. You’ll need this inner confidence in all aspects of your life, be it academics or the workplace.
 
The second is a prayer: I pray that we never forget each other because some of my favorite memories involve the students at this school.
 
I will always think of you as some of the best students that I have ever had the pleasure of teaching, and I am proud of all of you.
 
Thank you.

 

 

11I know you’ve all heard by now that I am leaving – it’s true.
 
To my students, this is a real farewell. I am thankful to God for the opportunity to have been your teacher.
 
I may be leaving now, but that doesn’t mean we should be sad about it. There’s a lot to be thankful for.
 
Let’s think back on the good fortune that we’ve had of learning together.
 
I will definitely not forget the countless hours that we spent in the classroom, the numerous tests that I set and you failed at times, and the disastrous school trips.
 
All of it will be cherished.
 
We always had a good time, despite being serious too, and I’ll always treasure that. I guess that it’s also fine to admit now that you have all kept me on my toes this whole time. Thank you for that.
 
Stay healthy and goodbye!
