School of Education Graduation Awards Night
Two of us were proud graduands at the School of Education’s (SoE) annual Awards and Graduation Night which was held on Saturday 3 July.
It was an apt theme of Masquerade which the organising team was inspired to include to put a fresh and celebration mode on the medical masks we have grown accustomed to wearing especially in Malaysia where the usage of face mask is mandatory in public places.
The virtual ceremony was attended by both staff, graduands, and the amazing organising team who were mainly year one BEd (Hons) Education students led by Tan Jit See (Luna).
We were told that it was an SoE tradition, and that the ceremony was organised and hosted by a committee of Year One students and we couldn’t agree more that they did a fantastic job.
The awards ceremony kicked off with a speech by the Interim Head of School of Education Dr Too Wei Keong followed by a speech by the event sponsor, D’Life Sdn Bhd, and its founder, Sharon Chang, as the guest of honour.
The event was an unfolding of various performances by talented students and one by an academic Dr Chai Xun Yu.
We were not exactly sure which was more inspiring the array of talents or the fact that the team could pull off such an enjoyable evening for graduands and award winners. Nevertheless, we are grateful for their kind efforts to celebrate a milestone in our lives, graduation, and awards that were clinched by staff and students.
We may seem disillusioned that the pandemic has been all gloom, but it is really hard to stay in that mindset. We attended an event which witnessed the achievements of staff and students who have gone on to do great things and was recognised by the School with awards and also the end of student journey for 42 graduands from the School.
