It was difficult at first, but thanks to the teachers, I was able to grow. Besides the lessons, I have so many fond memories from trips to Matsushima and cherry blossom viewing. I know there will still be challenges ahead, but I\u2019ll keep doing my best while remembering my time at this school,\u201d he said with confidence.<\/p>\n\n<p>After the ceremony, a graduation party was held. The students celebrated with dancing and food, cherishing their final moments at the school and making lasting memories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The graduation ceremony for the 2024 academic year was held on Friday, March 14.<\/p>\n<p>This year, 54 students from Nepal and Bangladesh graduated from our school.
