Celebration for graduating students
The achievements of more than 130 Canning College students were recognised at a Graduation Ceremony held at Mineral Resources Park Function Centre on Thursday, October 20.
Top award winners included Choo Ping Tee (WA Universities’ Foundation Program), Khin Mya Hmuu (Diploma of Commerce – UWA), So Cek Ki (Diploma of Commerce – Curtin) and Jeannie Kong Kee Ning (Certificate IV in University Access Program).
The Graduation Ceremony was a celebration of the hard work of international students who completed the WA Universities’ Foundation Program recently, as well as Diploma of Commerce and Certificate IV in University Access Program students, who completed at the end of last year or mid-year 2022.
Acting Principal Adelfo Sabatini encouraged students to pursue their own journey in life with vigour.
“As a graduate of Canning College, you go out into world armed with the necessary skills and knowledge to be able to select your own path and make a go of it,” he said. “Find joy in your journey and take chances… we wish you well in your journey.”
Mr Sabatini also thanked students, teachers, staff and Board members for their contribution to the ongoing success of Canning College.
Excitement on campus
Director of International Operations Lisa De’Ceglie said 2022 would be remembered as a year in which an increasing number of students physically returned to Canning College after so many had studied online during border closures.
“Every week since the border opened, we have had students – both past and current – coming into Student Services, which has resulted in a lot of excitement,” she said.
“We continue to hear from students who have completed full programs online without having ever come to Canning College, but they promise they will visit when they come to Perth. We will definitely hold them to that and hope that they know they are always welcome to visit Canning College.”
Valedictory speeches from Fantasia Wong (Diploma of Commerce) and Demetra Tang (WA Universities’ Foundation Program) and musical performances from Xavier Tan, Emily Teh, Tiffany Tan and Shawn Lee were among the highlights of the evening.
The contribution of Student Ambassadors Azman Amalia Binti and Scotty Maw Minn Khant, as well as Student Representative on the Board Zyra Thant Phyu Phyu Shinn, were also acknowledged.
