WHEN UKG CHILDREN DONNED GRADUATION GARB!

BY P S SUNDAR

It was an enthusiastic sight amidst parents and grandparents of children at Crescent Play and Primary School Ooty as they witnessed their wards being honoured for ‘graduating’ in UKG.

The 154 children donned the convocation garb, including the wise-man’s cap, as done in a University convocation when D Arumugam, Principal, Crescent Castle Matriculation Higher Secondary School, presented them the ‘graduation scroll’.

“This is the 15^th year we have been conducting graduation ceremony for children who pass out of our campus completing their UKG.  As their primary education ends now, they all will move to other schools of our group for pursuing ICSI or state Board curriculum”, Crescent Correspondent Umar Farouk told me.

“This ceremony motivates parents to offer the highest and best possible education to their wards.  It has been instrumental in all our students studying well as they go to higher classes and passing in Tenth and Plus Two public exams with many of them scoring ranks”, he added.
