Grade twelve is the final year of secondary school in Canada and the Philippines — the finish line of high school, equivalent to Year 12 in the UK or senior year in the US. It's the year dominated by university applications, final exams, graduation preparations, and the dawning realisation that adult life is incoming fast. In Canadian and Filipino school culture, grade twelve is a major milestone with its own rituals, stress, and nostalgia built around it.
