Buller graduations were held on July 26th. Students from the session which ended in May were invited back to celebrate their accomplishments. Although Stepping Uppers do not normally get to attend a graduation party, we decided to include them in our CIH celebrations, and hand out Stepping Up Certificates as well.
Murchison graduations were held at lunch on Tuesday. All but one of the 15 students was in attendance to receive their certificates. The Murchison CIH Most Outstanding Student award was given to Kelly Hocking, who was very dedicated to the course and was always willing to help her peers around her.
The Westport and Ngakawau graduations were combined for an evening event at the Salvation Army Hall. This term Ngakawau had 5 CiH graduates and 6 Stepping UPers, while Westport graduated 9 CiH and 11 Stepping UPers. Since it was the school holidays we had many families in attendance. Our Most outstanding student was Kim Aldridge, from the Westport course, who was very shy to start the course but was very keen to complete it. And in Ngakawau it was Sonia Allen, who it always keen to learn the new technology and her excitement was great to see.
Everyone enjoyed the nibbles and the yummy cake!
Congratulations to the Graduates!!
