Convocation ceremonies at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 focus on celebrating graduating students, but they also find ways to recognize the contributions of the people who have helped the graduates get where they are today. High school educators often play a large role in inspiring and motivating students to pursue further education, and the Baillie Award for Excellence in Secondary School Teaching, presented each year at convocation, highlights the impact this special group has had on those crossing the stage and receiving their degrees.
Graduating students are invited to nominate their past teachers for the award, and five were selected to receive the award during the ceremonies in downtown Kingston last week.
The award was established by Chancellor Emeritus A. Charles Baillie in 2007.
