Graduation ceremony – Australia
Dreaming of your moment in the spotlight where you stride across the stage and doff your cap at the Chancellor? With your name called out as you receive your award certificate in front of a crowd? 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, receiving your award on stage in front of your peers and loved ones, will make this day one you’ll always remember.
Before the ceremony, we invite you and your guests to enjoy refreshments at an outdoor welcome reception.
