He said that three years is not a very long time but has many memories, associated with the efforts, studying and cultivating of the students, so that they can transform from small, clumsy and innocent students into people who are more profound in perception, more mature in thinking, more steady in style and more skillful in behavior. He also appreciates the efforts of the first-year students during the three years of studying at the school and wishes them success on the long journey ahead.

In particular, during the ceremony, on behalf of all students of Course 1, student Tran Trung Dung - a 12th grade student of the Literature Department - gave an extremely emotional speech, recounting the entire process of how he and his friends grew up at the young specialized school. Dung told the students of the lower classes: "From now on, the High School for the Gifted in Social Sciences and Humanities will not only be a 4-storey building for students, but also become a symbol of goodness, of maturity, continuing the tradition of the Faculty of Literature. Whether that symbol will last or not, whether it will be preserved and promoted or not, depends largely on the students - the next generations of the School."
