Mrs Chambers Graduates - The Best Part of My Holiday!


































In the holidays I graduated with a Bachelor of Education. It was an exciting day. The first thing I did was to pick up my gown, trencher and hood. I drove home very excited as I was eager to put on my 'costume' to show Bradley and Sacha. We had lunch with my Mum & Dad and Mr Chambers' Mum and Dad. Mrs Kilkolly arrived with her 2 kids, James & Neve. They gave me a big bunch of flowers that smelt divine. After lunch it was time to drive into Takapuna. I had to wait at the start of the march. I waited with Mr van Buesekom's sister, Marianne. I met her during my first paper. All of a sudden we could hear bagpipes being played and we started to walk all along the shops of Takapuna. We got to walk on the road! When we got into the hall we went upstairs while our families were arriving and finding their seats. It seemed like we waited for HOURS. Finally we got to walk into the theatre. Once again the bagpipes were playing, piping us to our seats. After a few speeches it was my turn to get 'capped'. The Chancellor (boss of the University) held a trencher over my head and then it was official! I had a Bachelor of Education. When the ceremony had finished I met my family in the foyer where we had some photos taken. Then we all went to Bolero and had a celebration with some of my friends and family. I had such a great day. I can't wait to hear about the best part of your holidays.
