Student life is over for Toi Ohomai students who have had their graduating ceremony.
There was no parade for the 130 graduating students from Mokoia Campus yesterday but for the first time the institute had ceremonies across the whole region.
The regional graduation tour started in Tauranga with two ceremonies over Monday and Tuesday. There are three more in Taupō, Tokoroa and Whakatāne later this week.
Rotorua Chamber of Commerce acting chief executive Bryce Heard was the guest speaker to the students who gained their certificate qualification.
The Rotorua Diploma and Degree programmes will be graduating in April 2019.
