Graduation Ceremony for Teachers and Principals
On Friday afternoon we were expected to attend a graduation ceremony for teachers and principals who had completed a Certificate in Leadership and Management. As many PCV staff as possible were there to show support and encouragement.

 Our boss Pastor Allen Nafuki was one of the speakers, and also presented the certificates.

Their robes are much prettier and lighter weight than our black ones.

The course was run by the PCV Education Authority - one of Martyn's 2 room mates at the office is Jonathan who leads the PCVEA. We've never seen him dressed up so smartly - he quipped that he was getting married.

Family members of the graduates festoon them with leis and stoles.

The ceremony was held at

which is in an interesting building complex. Members of the public can make meal reservations and be served by students in hospitality training, just like at Wintec in Hamilton.

 The roof trusses on this part extend out over the verandah onto tapered concrete columns.

I saw on a previous visit that the roof had been badly damaged by Pam - it's good to see it is being repaired now.

This little guy is so cute, suddenly realising he was caught in the photo!

We didn't get served a meal there, but Martyn got a tomato sandwich, which is something we haven't had in long time. I missed out - too busy taking photos.
