Celebrating our Graduation ceremonies

Close to 600 ākonga, their friends and whānau packed the Due Drop events centre in Manukau last week for the annual Diploma and Degree Graduation ceremonies.
The three Graduation ceremonies featured graduates from the 篮球比分,篮球即时比分 of Nursing, Business, Digital Technologies, Health and Counselling, Education, Hospitality, Social Work and Sport, Professional Engineering and Logistics/NZ Maritime School.
Te Pūkenga CE and former MIT CE Gus Gilmore gave the opening address at all three ceremonies, supported by graduate speakers Aarona Hellesoe (Bachelor of Nursing - Maaori) Sam Wade (Bachelor of Early Childhood Education) and Seta Vaka (Bachelor of Applied Management).
Kaimahi and executives led the annual Graduation procession through the Manukau city centre, with onlookers lining the route to cheer and clap the graduands.
A Tuku Taonga Māori Celebration was also held at Ngā Kete Wānanga Marae, and a Pasifika thanksgiving celebration at the Due Drops event centre after the final Graduation ceremony on Saturday evening.
