It is time to congratulate our students on completing their studies with us! 

When our students graduate from Cairnmillar, lots of feelings of accomplishment will fill the air along with decorated caps and tassels to celebrate the momentous occasion. This day is all about recognising the hard work our students put in, as well as welcoming them to a new world of opportunities.
