Graduation Day
16 Dec 2008 06:09 pm
The Graduation Ceremony for the students at the Vocational School for the Disabled was recently held, and forty-seven young people received their graduating certificates. After two years of hard work it was now time for these young people to go out into the work place and become independent and confident citizens. It is a proud moment for all the teachers and volunteers who have watched these students grow from the shy new arrivals with little or no self esteem to highly trained young people, full of confidence.
As each student was called to receive their certificate the audience was informed where the students will be going to work and as usual each student has suitable employment. No longer will they be burdens on their families or society, but in the words of Fr. Ray Brennan they are now able to ‘earn their own rice’.
