Graduate Attendance Card and Parent/Guest Invitation Cards
The package (one Graduate Attendance Card and two Parent/Guest Invitation Cards) will be given to you at the Registration Counter when you come for your graduation ceremony. Please approach the staff outside the Auditorium so that they can direct you to the specific booth for collecting the package.
The Graduate Attendance Card and Parents/Guests Invitation Cards are essential as entry passes to the Graduation celebrations.
Parents/Guests without Invitation Cards will not be admitted to the ceremony.
The Attendance Card is important as it has a barcode which keeps your name and awards (if any) and is required when you are presented on stage.

Graduate Robing
All graduates attending the ceremonies will have to wear their graduation attire. After registration, you can put on your graduation attire at the robing room (Function Room) before proceeding to the Auditorium where the ceremony will be held.

Seating Time
Seating time for graduates and guests will commence one hour prior to the official start time of each ceremony. Before the start of the ceremony proper, video-clips specially prepared by the Schools will be screened.
To ensure that we are able to start the ceremony on time, graduates and guests are requested to be seated 30 minutes before the ceremony start time.

Ceremony Proceedings
The proceedings during each ceremony will be as follows:

1. Academic Procession
2. Commencement of Ceremony
3. Speech by Principal
4. Presentation of Certificates
5. Academic Recession
6. End of Ceremony
7. Reception

What graduates should do during the ceremony
After you have finished putting on your graduation attire, please proceed to the Auditorium. All graduates should be seated at least 30 minutes before the ceremony start time. At the entrance, the ushers will check your Attendance Card and show you to the seat.
The Graduate Attendance Card is required for the Ceremony Official to read out your name (and prizes, if any) when you are presented on stage. Thus, please hold the Attendance Card in your hand or put it inside the pocket of your graduation attire.
When the ceremony begins, please stand up to welcome the academic procession.
When it is time for your graduating cohort to be presented on stage, the ushers will lead you up the stage. Please remember to hold the Attendance Card in your hand and give it to the marshall manning the barcode reader. As the names of the graduates will be read out in the sequence that the Attendance Cards are scanned, please do not change position with your fellow graduates after you have given the Attendance Card to the marshall.
Towards the end of the each ceremony, the valedictorian will deliver a speech. The academic procession will first leave the Auditorium. Please follow the instructions of the ushers to leave after the academic procession.
The original Nitec/Higher Nitec certificates will be given at the ceremony.

Reception after the Ceremony
All graduates and guests are invited to a reception immediately after each ceremony.
To better serve your needs, some vendors will be invited to set up booths outside the Auditorium during the Graduation period. It is hoped that you will find the services and products offered by the vendors useful. However, you are under no obligation to entertain their requests.
Do come and mingle with friends, faculty and staff.
Congratulations and have an enjoyable time!
