A celebratory atmosphere filled the auditorium of Carmel School Association Elsa High School as the school’s 7th – and by far its largest – annual graduating cohort entered, to Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance.

This year’s Graduation Ceremony at the Shau Kei Wan campus, was especially momentous as it marked 10 years since the founding of Carmel School’s Elsa High School section. Special guests to mark this milestone, were Ernst Strauss who gifted the name of his late mother Elsa to the school and Mark Konyn, Elsa’s Founding Chairman, who delivered the keynote address following a welcome and overview from our Board Chairman Shay Razon.

This was followed by a rendition of Dreamer by the Elsa Choir after an inspiring Dvar Torah given by Aaron Meoded, Class of 2019.
