Students and their proud families attended ceremonies at St Hilda’s Church on the Headland on Tuesday.
They then happily posed for the Mail’s Frank Reid outside with their loved ones and celebrated in the time honoured tradition by throwing their mortar boards into the air.
The joyful scenes were repeated in two further graduation ceremonies the same day.
Congratulations to everyone who graduated.
