Farewell speech for students: 4 samples

Farewell speech by a student leaving Class 5

Good morning to our principal, teachers and my dear friends. Today is a happy and a sad day for us. Happy, because we are moving to the senior wing. Sad, because we are leaving the classrooms where we learnt so much.

I still remember my first day here. I was holding my mother's hand and did not want to let go. Today, I can stand on this stage and speak to all of you. That is what this school has given me.

Thank you to our teachers for your patience, your stories and for believing in us. Thank you, friends, for every lunch we shared and every game we played. We will miss you, but we will always be one class. Thank you.

Farewell speech by juniors for Class 10 seniors

Good morning, respected principal, teachers and our dear seniors. Today we have gathered to say goodbye to the students who led us, guided us and set an example for us.

Dear seniors, you were our house captains, our team leaders and our helpers in every event. You showed us how to win with grace and how to keep going after a loss.

As you step into a new chapter, remember that this school will always be your home. We will try to carry forward everything you started. We wish you the very best for your exams and for everything that comes after. Please come back and visit us. Thank you.

Farewell speech by a senior student

Good morning to our respected principal, teachers and my dear juniors and friends. It feels strange to stand here today. For years, we sat where you are sitting and listened to seniors say goodbye. Now it is our turn.

This school gave us more than marks. It gave us friends who became family, teachers who pushed us when we wanted to give up, and memories we will tell our children about: the sports days, the annual days and the last-minute project nights.

To our teachers: thank you for your patience and for never giving up on us. To our juniors: enjoy every day here, even the hard ones. They go by faster than you think.

We may leave this campus, but this campus will never leave us. Thank you, and goodbye.

Farewell speech for a teacher

Good morning, everyone. Today we say goodbye to a teacher who has been a guide, a friend and a role model to so many of us.

For years, our teacher has made difficult lessons easy, listened to our problems and always believed we could do better. Many of us are confident today because of those words of encouragement.

We will miss the stories, the smile and even the strict days. Thank you for everything you have given us. We wish you good health, happiness and success in the next chapter of your life. Thank you.

Opening lines that grab attention

1. "Today is a happy and a sad day for all of us."
2. "Do you remember your very first day in this school?"
3. "They say goodbyes are hard. Today I understand why."

How do I start a farewell speech?

Greet the audience, then set the feeling: "Today is a happy and a sad day for us." Or start with a memory: "Do you remember your first day in this school?"

How long should a farewell speech be?

2 to 3 minutes is usually right. Long enough for one or two memories and thank-yous, short enough to hold attention.

What should a junior say in a farewell speech for seniors?

Thank the seniors for leading and helping, mention one thing they did for the school, wish them well for exams and the future, and invite them to visit.
