I work as a EFL teacher in Argentina, and my students are having their graduation ceremony (from primary school) this week. Is it correct to say:
Best wishes to Santiago in this new phase of his student �s life!
For me, it doesn �t sound natural. Do you know a phrase or another way to say this?
Thanks in advance,

Is this for a teacher or a student? Who is Santiago?
If it �s a student it sounds natural to me to say: Best wishes to Santiago in the next phase of his life. OR I think you could also say: Best wishes to Santiago in Middle School (or whatever the next phase is called in your country :)).
If it �s not a student then I am confused on why you are congratulating a teacher for his students � graduation. For all his hard work perhaps?
Hope this helps,
Deanna. |

Are you going to be addressing Santiago directly or rather the audience? Personally, I think it is important to stress that he is going to a higher level.
I can suggest:
Best wishes to Santiago in this new stage of learning/education.
Best wishes to you Santiago in this new stage of learning/education.
Best wishes to Santiago in the upcoming stage of (his) education.
Best wishes to Santiago who is going one level up in his eduaction. |
