Attended the Graduation Party at Goikuho Hoikuen this morning. Eventhough it was not for Neesa chan nor her kumi, the school invited me to witness this very special ceremony.
The formal graduation ceremony was held in the shrine next to the school. The graduates were dressed in a special poncho cum robe as they were called to the front to receive their certificate from the principal.
After a group photo session of the 'graduates' and their families as well as the Senseis, we adjourned to the school hall for the informal post-party.
Not only did we have lunch together (in the form of halal sandwiches) but we were also entertained with a few performances by the Senseis and the students.
The graduation ceremony today was not only to celebrate the students who are going to be promoted to elementary school but also as a gesture of thanks to the Senseis who had been preparing the students for school life.
