As we step into this new academic journey, I want to acknowledge the remarkable teachers who have dedicated themselves to shaping our minds and guiding us toward success.

Welcome everyone to the Opening ceremony of the new school year at VFIS. Thank you all for being here today.

Today is an immensely significant day, especially for the Grade 12 students, as it marks our high school graduation. It is also the day we officially become alumni of VFIS, where we have grown every day to proudly stand here as the first generation of students to graduate from the International Baccalaureate Program at VFIS.

In Finland we do give homework, but it is only given when the teacher feels that it is necessary for the students. There is no policy that homework has to be given after every lesson, or even every week. 

So, I really enjoy working here also with my working colleagues because it’s really easy to know that they are always willing to learn from you and at the same time, they are really polite colleagues.
