We were thrilled this year to arrive home in Nova Scotia in time for some of Brett's graduation activities. Brett is Lisa's brother, Todd's daughter and she graduated last week from Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School. Tim and Lisa graduated from the same school a mere 30 years ago!
Traditions surrounding high school graduation have changed a lot in 30 years and are also different from the traditions that we experience at Qatar Academy. For example, Prom is now a whole day event, not just a dance. We enjoyed watching the grad class and their dates have photos taken at the town park. How beautiful! There is no Prom in Qatar but the students do have a formal "Leaver's Dinner" for the students
leaving grade 12.
Brett received several monetary awards at the graduation ceremony. She graduated with Honours and an average of 92.2% We are very proud of her and her silver "B" (for maintaining an honours average through all three years of high school). Brett also received several school awards for Community Service, Dedication and Commitment, Leadership and Longevity and also she was selected the MVP for Scironment (an environmental science club). Brett will be attending the Nova Scotia Community College Lunenburg campus in September taking the Community Disability Support program.
