Fourteen students graduate from Teen Services’ Continuation School
Graduates of Teen Services’ Continuation School programme were honoured at a special ceremony recently.Fourteen students graduated from the school this year.Their efforts were celebrated with a ceremony at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute on June 29. The Continuation School provides educational support for young parents and students who have dropped out of high school.“The agency felt that it was important to honour them in a traditional ceremony, rather than receiving their diploma in the mail,” said Teen Services director Michelle Wade.Most of this year’s graduates were female students from S2 and S3; eight male students graduated.As well as providing Bermuda Secondary School Certificate (BSC) and General Educational Development (GED) support, the school provided GED pre-testing and registration for the students. CedarBridge Academy social worker Marilyn (Peggy) Jackson was guest speaker at the ceremony. She gave the graduates “survival tips on how to transition to the next phases of their lives”, Ms Wade said.
