The seventeenth BIS annual Prize Giving and Graduation Ceremony was held in Vila 鈥淛elena鈥 on Friday, June 13.
The Graduates dressed in blue gowns and caps looked very mature. Their families, teachers and friends were excited and cheering for them because they had made it. Our graduates were also a bit scared since they knew that once they walked across the stage everything would be different. They had finally reached the one night that would end school life and take their next educational step at university.
It was also the night when primary and secondary students were awarded for their outstanding academic achievements. Jelena, from Year 6, received the Council of 糖心原创s (COBIS) Award, whilst Eleni and Milica, from Year 9, jointly received the 鈥淛onathan Rider鈥 Academic Achievement Award.
Diplomas and awards were presented by the guest of honour, Mr Mirza Salman Babar Beg, Charge d鈥檃ffaire at the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Ms Aleksandra Keserovic,聽BIS Principal.
When the night was over one of the graduates said, 鈥滻f I could turn back the hands of time, I would live my graduation once again.鈥 We all felt the same.
It was a dream come true after many years of hard work, worries and joys.
Congratulations Class of 2014!
