PART I – COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES

INTRODUCTION – EMCEE

The month of April is one of the most awaited months for learners and parents alike—especially for those who,
for the first time, will witness their child march proudly during the processional as a member of the graduating
class.

Months of preparation, anticipation, and excitement now come into reality as we gather here today to witness
the Commencement Exercises and Recognition Rites of this academic year.

Today marks another milestone in the history of our beloved school. For almost ten months, we have seen how

To all our distinguished school officials, respected teachers, honored guests, supportive parents and guardians,
dear graduates, ladies and gentlemen — a pleasant morning to everyone!
