With a backdrop of delicate pink and white cherry blossoms, the Grade 12 students at NIS stood out in their green caps and gowns for a moment that was both celebratory and symbolic. This annual photo shoot marked more than just a picturesque tradition…it was the first of the lasts.

As they smiled for the camera, laughter mingled with a sense of quiet anticipation. These students stand at a pivotal threshold. With the final school bell behind them, they now step into a period of intense study in preparation for their IB exams. It’s a time of transition—between being students and becoming graduates, between the structure of school life and the open future ahead.

There is no denying the stress and weight of what comes next. But they are ready. Prepared by dedicated teachers not just in academics, but in resilience and well-being, they are equipped for this final stretch. The entire NIS community stands behind them. Teachers, staff, and students alike are cheering them on with pride and confidence.

Later in May, they will return for a joyful school-wide celebration and the much-loved senior parade, followed by graduation rehearsals and, at last, the big day itself. But for now, this cherry blossom moment reminds us all that the finish line is in sight—and that these young people are destined for greatness.
