The Barasanan National High School Commencement Exercises are
about to begin. Let me remind you to turn your cellphones to silent
mode and be courteous around you by refraining from talking aloud.
During the presentation of graduates, we encourage you to express
your pride by applauding and cheering. We would like also to inform
the public that we provided waste cans for your convenience so please

orderliness of our venue.

gratitude to the working committees who give their very best and
effort and risk to make this commencement exercises possible.
Commencement – a word of French origin which means beginning.
