Seeing how hard they’ve worked and the level of determination and self-belief they’ve demonstrated throughout their time here is really inspiring. We know it’s those aspects that will make them stand out in whatever they choose to do in the future.”The ceremony included performances and keynote speeches, including Disney+ actor and former ACS student, Omar Biroud.
