From celebrating your achievements to wearing the fancy gown - there are so many reasons to attend your graduation.
Are you graduating from GOTAFE this year? This is such a big deal, congratulations to you!
Your future is right around the corner, and it's time to celebrate. Sometimes it really is necessary to take the time to celebrate and appreciate an important moment in your life by creating memories that you look back on again and again
Besides the obvious (hello, you get your certificate!), there are five awesome reasons why you shouldn't miss your graduation ceremony.
1. A special moment to celebrate your achievement
Studying for a qualification is not for the faint of heart. It can be challenging, stressful and demanding. This is the moment to look back on it and realise it was worth all the work. This is the time to pat yourself on the back and be proud of what you’ve achieved.

2. Friends and family can share it with you
This isn’t just a day for you to feel proud of yourself, it’s a day for your friends and family to be proud of you too. They have seen your journey and know how much has gone into this moment. Maybe they’ve sacrificed something to help make this happen for you – so this is their day too. Watch your loved ones beam from ear to ear when they see you graduate in person.

3. See your BFFs again
There are great people who have been on this journey with you. Soon enough, your classmates will move on to new things. Take the time to share this with them; reminisce and wish each other luck for the future.

4. This is one of life's landmark events
Your graduation ceremony will become a key part of your own timeline; a symbol of change, progression and moving on to new adventures. Take this moment and make it one for the ages, for your personal highlights reel!

5. Kick-off the next chapter in style
Your qualification is your proof to yourself and to the world that you know how to do the work and see things through to the end. This is great when it comes to stepping into your career. That little piece of paper is proof that you have what it takes.

Don’t pass on your graduation ceremony, it’s a day you’ll remember forever and we’re all excited to see what the future holds for each and every GOTAFE Graduate.
