There have been many things they have missed out on in their final year of school because of Covid-19.
But their graduation assembly wasn't one of them.
The Year 12 class of 2020 celebrated their last year of school at Goulburn High on Wednesday.
Awards were presented and students farewelled.
Year 12 student Charlotte thanked the Goulburn High staff for their support in what was a difficult year.
"Thank you for your hard work and being adaptable during lockdown," she said.
"[And] the parents - we could not have gone through the past 13 years of schooling without your support."
Goulburn High School principal Yogesh Mani wished the students luck and said he hoped they took fond memories with them from their time at the school.
"I hope as a school we have made a difference in your life," he said.
Mr Mani also had some words of advice for the students.
'Don't underestimate kindness. It's a gift you can give to others and it's totally free. It brings great rewards for yourself and also the person that receives it."
