It’s sad to see you go but we’re glad to see you grow. One of the final events the UTTSG sees our students is at The UTT Graduation Ceremony. Usually held annually in November, the UTTSG takes part in this event where some of our traditions are observed. One such tradition is the flag procession where we lead you as a Graduate into the ceremonial hall and present you to the Chancellor. The UTTSG also opens the ceremony with an inter-faith pray. One of the happiest moments in this ceremony is the guard-of-honour formed by the UTTSG where we cheer each and every one of you who have made it to this point. Good luck Grandaunts!
