What is convocation?
Convocation is Wrenford Polytechnic's ceremony for recognising students who have completed their certificates, diplomas, advanced diplomas, graduate certificates, applied bachelor's degrees, and apprenticeship in-school training. Graduates wear their academic robes and walk across the stage to receive their scrolls.
