G. Farnazo." (After the 'I now confirm you...' line) Ad-lib: "Graduates, you may now shift
your tassels! Let’s hear a big cheer for the Graduates of Batch 2026!"
VI. Distribution of Diplomas & Medals

your parents." Ad-lib (during the walk): "Parents, hold those hands high! That’s 50 years of
tradition right there on stage."
VII. Awarding of Medals (The Honors)

Medals for Pupils with Honors."
VIII. The Voices of the Batch
