Japanese School Ceremonies: Primary School Graduation--After the Ceremony


Figure 1.-- Here we see some of the boys after the primary graduation ceremomy in 2010. I do not know what the differnet color carnations mean. Only one boy has flowers. The other boys probably handed them off to mother. These boys seem to be wearing ID cards. Some are carrying their certificate scrolls.,

After the formal ceremony, the homeroom teacher may give the graduates an informal little talk. Then the new graduates are free. Some go hime with their parents. Others roam around the school individually or in groups and chat with friends. They also visit with their former teachers to thank them for their efforts and say goodbye. This is the last time the graduates will be together as some will be attending different junior high schools. This is their last day of school, but the underclassmen still attend classes for a few weeks. Parents may take informal portraits of their children and their friends. At junior high school it is common to do school cheers with the underclassman at the entrance to the school.
