In the early summer of 2024, a season filled with hope and harvest, all the teachers, students, and parents of Grade 5 at SUIS Qingpu gathered to witness the glorious occasion of the Primary School Class of 2024 Graduation Ceremony.
Now that they have finished primary school, the future holds endless possibilities for the graduates, setting sail to pursue dreams and embarking on a new chapter. The graduation ceremony began enthusiastically and ceremoniously. Eight Grade 5 student hosts warmly welcomed all the guests, teachers, parents, and fellow students with their exuberant energy.
Following this, exciting performances by each Grade 5 class took the stage one after another. In the first half of the programme, the audience was blessed with the energetic hip-hop dance “Dance Monkey” by Class 5H, the poetry recital and dance performance “Light Up the Future” by Class 5B, the drama “We Rock” by Class 5F, and the musical “When I Grow Up” by Class 5A, each performance showcasing the students’ talents and vitality, earning waves of applause from the audience.
During the first round of diploma conferrals, students from Classes H, B, G, and D entered the stage group by group. In the presence of their parents, the graduates experienced the formal ‘turning of the tassel’, received their graduation certificates, and then posed with school leaders and teachers for a commemorative photo.
The second half of the program continued to shine with brilliance. The children of Class 5C brought us an emotional performance of “See You Again,” Class 5E presented “This Is Me,” and Class 5G performed “Don’t Say Goodbye,” each of which deeply moved the audience. Finally, Class 5D gave a heartfelt farewell to the school with their chorus of “SUIS Qingpu, Come on!”
In the second round of diploma presentations, students from Classes F, A, C, and E took the stage group by group, also experiencing the formal ‘turning of the tassel’, receiving their graduation certificates, and posing for a commemorative photo. This moment was the pinnacle of their five years of hard work and dedication, marking the end of their time in primary school.
Following this, the parents prepared a special performance for the children – “Farewell Blossoms.” With a heartfelt performance, the parents expressed their boundless blessings – an emotional performance for an emotional day.
As the evening approached, the students proceed en masse to the sports pitch where they released balloons symbolizing their dreams. Under the light of the rising moon, 56 rounds fireworks lit up the night sky, heralding the graduates’ successful transition to middle school. Graduation does not signify an end but a new beginning. On the road ahead, may each student carry the blessings of SUIS Qingpu, continue to chase their dreams, and forge ahead courageously.
