Graduation ceremony – Australia
Dreaming of your moment in the spotlight where you stride across the stage and doff your cap at the Chancellor? A graduation ceremony will fulfil that dream. And an on-stage photo will capture the moment.
Your faculty’s graduation ceremony is a formal occasion to celebrate your achievement with family and friends, who can either come along as ticketed guests or view a livestream from home. If you choose this option, you’ll have a very exciting celebration. Dressed in your graduation gown, having your achievements recognised in front of your peers and loved ones – this is a day you’ll always remember.
Before the ceremony, we invite you and your guests to enjoy refreshments at the welcome reception.
