From their first day in uniform to their final walk across the stage, our graduates share the journey that shaped them at Surabaya European School. 🎓✨ 

Through laughter, challenges, friendships, and growth, each story reflects a unique path filled with unforgettable memories. In their own words, they recall the lessons that went beyond textbooks — lessons in resilience, kindness, and being true to themselves. These reflections are not just about school, but about becoming who they are today. As they speak, you’ll hear not just pride, but gratitude for every moment. This is more than a farewell — it’s a celebration of a chapter well written.
