Rehearsals
All graduates are obliged to participate in the two rehearsal sessions outlined in the commencement schedule, which will take place on June 9th and June 10th. Attendance at these rehearsals is compulsory, and failure to attend will result in your exclusion from the graduation march.
These rehearsal sessions serve as a practical guide for students to better understand the graduation ceremony’s protocols. They cover aspects such as the sequence of lining up before entering the gymnasium, expected conduct inside, procedures when called upon to receive the diploma cover, designated spots for photograph sessions, and more. Furthermore, photographs will be taken following each rehearsal and after the commencement ceremony itself.
