DHPS Says Farewell to 54 Abitur Graduates

On 31 October 2023, the eagerly anticipated moment arrived for 54 intelligent young adults. Their
school journey officially concluded, and they held their Abitur certificates with a mixture of pride,
relief, excitement, and a touch of nostalgia.
With an overall average of 2.11 and three graduates achieving exceptional 1.0 results, the Class of
2023 can take great pride in their accomplishments. Beyond academic achievements, these graduates
have excelled in athletics, languages, music, and demonstrated outstanding social skills, positioning
them well for successful international studies or training.
While not all their future plans are concrete, many share a common plan to acquire knowledge that
can benefit Namibia, one of the graduates aptly stated. “That is indeed a great plan,” emphasized by
DHPS Principal Kristin Eichholz in her speech during the graduation ceremony.
In general, the graduating class of 2023 exudes a sense of modesty. Alongside the graduates of the
Cambridge International Certificate branch of DHPS, they planted a tree on the school grounds, leaving
a “legacy” for the school. Ms. Eichholz commended this choice as a rare and admirable attitude,
particularly in the current times. “Not seeing yourself as the centre of attention and giving back to the
school for the benefit of others is not only sustainable but also a sign of humility towards the school
and the people who work here.”
The DHPS school community extends its best wishes to the 2023 Abitur graduates, hoping for their
continued success as remarkable individuals in their future endeavours.
