They did that at DS' preschool. Since the LDC is on campus they make quite a production of it and it is done in one of the lecture theatres, which is actually about a hundred metres away from where the uni will hold my graduation ceremony in a couple of months. My mother thought it was a bit "silly" , since in her day they only had graduations for when you graduate from university or college. But I invited her to come as well and she seemed to think it was cute.

The children sang heaps of songs while they had photos of the children from the past year on the screen behind them. Then the children left the room and came back in with their gowns and motar board hats (these seemed to just be made out of black cardboard, possibly by the children themselves, but they were cute), sang another song and then each received their portfolios and their certificates. Then DS and another child held a knife and cut their graduation cake. Of course, it was only pushing the knife down once and then it was whisked away for the teachers to cut up.

It must admit, I did get a bit teary LOL. Because I started studying at the uni when he was 7 months old, he's been there a while and both of us had become attached to some of the teachers at his LDC.
