Seiryo's Graduation

The graduation ceremony was held today. It was a very stuffy complicated affair of standing and bowing.

After the formal part of the ceremony was over, everyone gathered in the atrium for the more relaxed portion of the program.

The students graduating this year are the first students I taught when I arrived in Japan. I'm proud to see them graduate..!

In the afternoon, many students came to the staff room to get their yearbooks signed, and take pictures with teachers.

All important school events are followed by a mandatory enkai (drinking party - for teachers, not students..!) in the evening. Today was no exception!
