British International Preparatory School hosted a fun and rewarding graduation and Celebration of Achievements ceremony for their youngsters in the Early Years Programme on 21 November.
The little ones and their parents packed their school hall to enjoy the annual event.
The youngsters were eager to receive certificates rewarding everything from being sincere to the most sociable.
Older learners donned full graduation gowns and mortarboards (academic caps) as they prepared to move onto their next stage of learning the following year.
The school’s Early Years Programme is for children from three to five years old.
The school’s principal Garth Thompson said, “Graduation day is the highlight of the reception class children’s year as it is the day that they get recognised as having qualified for ‘big school’.
“At British International Prep, the Early Years classes of three-year-old to five-year-old children are kept separate from the older children and they spend all year looking forward to the time that they can go and play on the fields with the big children.
For the school, it is a highlight as the children are so excited and enjoy themselves so much through graduation. We are so proud of our Early Years Programme and what excellent work that our teachers do.
“Our programme accommodates children as young as three years old, and we have without a doubt the best academic programme for children of this age.”
