St. Peter's Secondary Graduation Day

We were invited to join St. Peter's Form 4 students on their graduation day.  There was a full programme.  The day began with Mass at the Cathedral around 8.30a.m. During the Mass Fr. Nkunika blessed the writing materials the students will use at their final exams this week. Blair who was part of the Malawian Student Group in Scotland wore his St. Matthew's tie f.or the occasion

After Mass, we walked to the Hall to listen to the speeches from the various invited guests, including the Inspector of Secondary Schools and Fr. Nkunika, the Chaplain. Various activities were presented by the students to entertain us; the dramas created much hilarity.  Next there was the prizegiving recognising several individuals - each received a special cup.  Every student was also presented with a certificate to mark completing their 4 years of secondary education.
