All Saints Secondary graduation list causes concern, so ceremony postponed, possibly to December

REAL NEWS: While most education institutions are celebrating their students with the annual graduation ceremonies, at least one school will not be staging its event at this time.

The All Saints Secondary School has postponed its graduation until December 2023 – the acting principal, Elvin Hodge, is hoping.

In a letter dated Tuesday, June 13, parents were informed of the postponement of the exercise.

Hodge tells them that, following a meeting between Director of Education Clare Browne, the school’s management, and representatives of the graduation committee, it was determined that the list of students eligible for graduation needs to be re-examined.

The reason for reassessment was not stated in the letter.

To further compound the situation, Hodge writes, members of the graduation committee have resigned, leaving the principal in a difficult position.

Accordingly, the graduation ceremony was postponed, which, Hodge says, was a decision made with a heavy heart, and he apologizes to the parents for the inconvenience.

Sources in education circles allege that the Ministry of Education is embarrassed that not enough of the school’s senior students have “qualified” for graduation.

However, this is unconfirmed by school officials.
