Graduation 2014
Monday 15 December
5:00pm for 5:30pm
The Canberra Theatre
Civic Square, Civic
What happens at Graduation?
A major highlight of the College year is our Graduation Ceremony. Students who are eligible for an ACT Year 12 Certificate – having acquired 17 points in their studies – will be presented with their Certificates, along with other achievements such as a Tertiary Entrance Statement or Vocational Certificates. Students have already received detailed information via their Clubs and Community class.
The focus of the evening is the presentation of certificates and awards, with a just a few short pieces of entertainment; speeches will be short! The evening does have a sense of occasion and achievement and students are asked to dress accordingly – neat and tidy at the very least! The Ceremony should take just a little over 2 hours - in case families wish to organise a family celebration dinner afterwards.
Can students
bring guests?
YES. Each student receives three tickets – of which two are guest tickets. These tickets have been issued via their Clubs and Community Teacher – parents should check with their student that this has been done. There is no cost for students and their guests.
Can
students just turn up on the Night?
NO! Students must have a seat reserved for them; a Graduation folder will also be organised for them.
Can
students collect tickets later?
Students should collect their tickets from their Clubs and Community Teacher NOW.
The deadline for ticket collection is
Friday, November 28
Is there
a Graduation rehearsal?
YES. To assist with the smooth running of the evening function, there will be a rehearsal for students at the The Canberra Theatre on the day of Graduation at 1:30pm. Students who are eligible for an ATAR will receive information about their scores at rehearsal.
If
students cannot attend Graduation, when can they collect Certificates?
Students who are unable to attend Graduation can collect their certificates from the College after 9:30am on Tuesday 16 or Wednesday 17 December. The College closes after this date for the holidays but Certificates will still be available for collection when the College re-opens late in January.
Students must attend in person and sign for their Certificate; or students can nominate a family member to collect the Certificate on their behalf, but this person must have a letter from the student which gives permission for collection, as well as personal identification.
