DBRTC Graduation
TETERE: 13 November 2011 -- On November 11, 2011, Don
Bosco Rural Training Centre, Tetere, held its 6th graduation
ceremony. Graduands were were 38 students who for the past
two years have spent their time at the school acquiring new
skills.
The ceremony was divided into three
parts: the first was the celebration of Eucharist presided
over by the auxiliary bishop of Honiara, Bishop John
Doaninoel, several others priests, FMA Sisters, the de la
Pietà Sisters, and DMI sisters, and other invited
guests.
Following the Eucharistic celebration,
certificates were awarded. All 38 graduates received their
certificates from the Rector Fr. Michael Lap sdb and later
received a spade each and a packet of eggplant seeds as a
token of appreciation from the school.
A delicious lunch was offered to the
graduates, guests, parents and friends. Everyone enjoyed a
healthy meal prepared by the school and the parents of the
graduates. A “put-together” as the culture requests the meal
be shared. More 'flavours' were added with
live entertainment.
It was truly a blessed day for the school
to witness yet again another batch of Bosconians from all
over the country to graduate from a Don Bosco School. All
departed rejoicing.
