The first term examination came to a successful close and we are truly proud of our students. They showed great commitment by taking part in both the theory session and the practical session. Their performance gives us hope and motivates us to keep pushing for excellence.
Our examination process is designed to check the capability of every learner so we can identify the strengths they already have and support them in the areas where they need improvement. This helps us grow confident students who are ready for the world of work.
We extend our appreciation to the examination committee for their dedication toward organising a smooth and well coordinated examination for all our students. Your effort keeps the Senan Kerrigan Vocational Centre moving forward.

As we prepare with joy and gratitude for the 2025 graduation ceremony scheduled for 31 January 2026, we reflect on the journey of this remarkable class.

They are now equipped with practical hands on skills and prepared to face the future with purpose and hope. This graduation is a true reflection of what partnership and belief can achieve.
We warmly invite our donors and partners to continue standing with us. Your support changes lives, strengthens communities, and builds brighter futures. Together, we can do even more.
