Technically it's called secondary school and yeah, lasts from 11-16 years old. EDIT: Beaten, never mind!Originally Posted by DMKA
We don't really have graduation over here until university, and mine is in a month. At school we just had a "Leaver's Assembly" which featured my head of year going on about how bitchin' awesome we all were and being obsessed with our poncey netball team which were the 4th best in the country or something else wonderful which nobody actually cared about. It was kind of stupid 'cause it was held on a non-school uniform day, and while those are great and all, they're not really suited to formal "Hey, you're leaving this dump!" occasions.
Also "Pomp and circumstance" is Land of Hope and Glory. Wasn't it enough for you Americans to steal God Save the Queen and rename it "My Country Tis of Thee" or whatever? We haven't stolen the Stars and Stripes Forever and renamed it "A song to drink tea to", you know, but we're sorely tempted.
