Skye College celebrates learners’ journey of learning

Preschool graduation is a big step in children’s development. Graduation ceremonies bring schools and families together to build their community while supporting the young learners as they move into higher levels of academics.

Saturday, November 27 saw Skye College based in Honeydew host their graduation ceremony under the theme “Oh, the places you’ll go”.

According to the school the day was aimed at celebrating the children and how far they have come on their journey of learning.

“It’s a celebration of reaching a first of many milestones in their lives. Some of these children have been with us since they were babies in our nest, and now they are moving into and growing with our new school property,” said Principal Claire Shepherd.

The preparatory school learners have enjoyed a busy and fulfilling year, with experiences including their first entrepreneurs day.

Due to the Covid-19 regulations the school unfortunately did not have much in the way of family at school events as there were no Mother’s/ Father’s Day events.

The graduating class of 2021 saw the Grade Rs, 1s and 2s receive their diplomas. Last year the school did not have a graduation event, which is why they included the three grades this year.

“A highlight of 2021 was the upgrades and new additions to the school playground with loads more equipment and beautiful landscaping. Our preparatory learners look forward to the development of the contemporary new preparatory and high school campus, adjacent to the current campus, for occupation in late 2022,” said Claire.

Skye College enrols learners from three months old, and in 2022, the school will phase in their first intake of Grade 3s, and in 2023 Grade 4 will be launched as well as their high school.
