YEAR 11 Okehampton College students are preparing to say farewell to compulsory education, with the end of term fast approaching and following their graduation ceremony on June 21.

During Year 11, students received graduation points for the various aspects of college life that the college and community thought were important.

In order to graduate, students had to earn a minimum score in areas of attendance and approach to learning.

The more points gathered and recorded, the further up the leaderboard a student graduates.

The graduation ceremony was part of the college’s awards evening, which recognised 350 students with awards.
