Graduation Day

7th November 2010 (Sunday)

7th November 2010, the day that marks the end of college for The One Academy's batch 75 & 78 students, including me. 3 whole years of giving their all in any challenge thrown at them, these students have finally completed their learning journey and are now graduates, and are now ready to face the challenges outside.

This remarkable ceremony was held at Sunway's famous hotel Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa, at one of the many stunning ballrooms they have, The Grand Ballroom. Walking in through their large doors, a red carpet is rolled all the way to the other far end of the ballroom, which is the grand stage. Both sides of the carpets are the many round tables for the upcoming dinner after the ceremony. Outside, a registration booth is set, as well as a photography station is erected for family photos & portraits.

The session starts at 2pm as fresh graduates alongside their close family members, start to crowd the hall outside the ballroom, taking pictures and chit chatting. By 4.30pm, the graduates were lined up according to major, represented by their color, red for Interior Design, Yellow for Illustration, Purple for Animation, light blue for Advertising and dark blue for Multimedia.

As the ceremony starts, the fresh graduates marched into the ballroom on the red carpet to be seated near the stage and was then called by name to be presented with the graduation scroll. Thus, marking the end of being a student.
