More than 60 graduating Highlands and University College Jersey students came together this afternoon and paraded through town to celebrate their achievements.
The day started with a ceremony at 11.30am at the Freedom Centre, followed by a parade at 1pm, which concluded with a ceremonial hat-throw in Liberation Square.
A reception is being held at the Royal Yacht Hotel.
“Graduation is a celebration of achievement, perseverance, and change,” said Principal Jo Terry-Marchant.
“Each of our graduates has demonstrated dedication, resilience, and the ability to think independently and creatively – qualities that will open doors to exciting opportunities and shape the future they choose to build.
“Graduation is not only a tribute to our students’ academic success, but also to the support networks that have stood beside them – their loved ones, mentors, peers and, of course, their lecturers.”
