Palmer’s Twenty Ninth Valedictory Ceremony
Our Valedictory Ceremony is fast approaching! We are looking forward to celebrating this important event in your students school career with you on THURSDAY JUNE 5th at 6:30pm. Please see the attached document for important information and reminders for our Grads, including directions.
We would ask that students arrive between 4:45 and 5:15 – feel free to arrive earlier if you want to take photos in the Rose Garden BUT we do require students in the Telus Studio Theatre by 5:15. A reminder that your child must give you any belongings – no bags or purses are allowed in with students.
The doors will open for our guests at 6pm – please make sure you have your digital ticket or a print out of this with you as you do require this for entry. Just a reminder that all guests require a ticket, even babies!! Limited tickets may be available at the door on the evening but this cannot be guaranteed.
The doors will be closed at 6:30 and the ceremony will begin promptly. Please do not be late! Once the ceremony has ended, students will be escorted to the Rose Garden and we ask that guests make their way out of the Centre swiftly to meet their grads and take some memorable photos!
This year we are pleased to be able to offer you a new service – UBC has partnered with Convocation Flowers – you are able to order online prior to the event and collect the bouquet before the event at the entrance. You are also able to buy bouquets on the day! Please visit this link for further information and take the stress out of this big day!
