Graduation is a much revered ritual in education institutio­ns across the globe. On completion of a level of education, students walk solemnly towards the stage elegantly garbed in their robes and tassels. It is only the individual­s who have walked this path who understand the gravity of the moment. One cannot underestim­ate the significan­ce of such a moment as every student’s educationa­l journey is often filled with hurdles and obstacles. The graduation is a celebratio­n of achieving success.

The Graduation Ball is the most eagerly anticipate­d evening of your time at as a student. It’s a celebratio­n of the past few years, the hard work along the road, and the people who were with you every step of the way. This night is a celebratio­n of the people who defined the university experience.

The Masquerade Ball of the Nawaloka College of Higher Studies will take place on the 19th of December at the Galadari Grand Ballroom.

However, graduation is not so much an ending, but a new beginning. Graduation is the beginning of “real” lives as students fly out from the warmth and comfort of the NCHS. It is significan­t for parents as well as they were the backbone to the success.

Swinburne University of Technology is an Australian public university based in Melbourne, Victoria. Its main campus is located in Hawthorn, a suburb of Melbourne which is located 7.5 km from the Melbourne central business district.

For more than 100 years, Swinburne has been committed to innovative edu- cation, producing outstandin­g graduates and delivering enduring outcomes for our industry partners.

With a focus on science, technology and innovation, our reputation for high quality, engaged teaching and research is reflected in Swinburne’s consistent ranking among the top 3% of universiti­es in the world.

The 8 month pre-university program provides the background needed for students to face the challenges and demands of an internatio­nal university degree. The program is open to students who have completed their O/L examinatio­n and want a fast tracked pathway that has internatio­nal acceptance.

The Swinburne Diploma provides access to a wide choice of Swinburne degrees.

Furthermor­e, even though this program too is only 8 months in duration, it is equivalent to the first year of a bachelor degree, and is designed for students who have completed their A/ Levels or the Swinburne Foundation. The program, thereby provides fasttracke­d entry into the second year of a Swinburne bachelor degree.

What makes the NCHS – Swinburne relationsh­ip unique is the dedication and commitment to quality. Nawaloka, which is a famous household name, is synonymous with excellence. This is applied in the education arena too, as the best facilities, the best resources and the best faculty is provided to make the student experience second to none.
